Life Is Good Scarf is Finished

By -


I promise better images soon. The great thing about Janet Avila's design is the keyhole slit that lets you tie the scarf fashionably. I'm horrible at tying scarfs and shawls. I will knit up another one of these beauties. It was a mindless garter project. I used sock yarn from Major Jennifer's stash sale and she gifted me a similar skien too.

I have one problem or challenge as my dad would say: The tones of the different skein lots are noticeable. I may have to over dye the entire scarflette...Any suggestions for me? Maybe I should bleach the entire thing.

Life is Good because Fireman found the missing Library book last night. It was Mostly Mittens and now I have a good twenty bucks coming back to me....
I dont' want to keep the book. IT seems I should recycle the money into a yarny purchase, don't you think?

Life is Good because I get to cast on anew today.
Life is Good because my LYS starts a big anniversary sale today.
Life is Good because my father is doing so well.
Life is Good because the trees are all leafed out already!

Your turn: LIfe is Good because:

I would alternate the skeins as you knit so it looks planned. Four rows one skein, five or six rows another, etc.

A found $20 by way of the book AND a sale at your yarn store? I'd say that's a match made in heaven!

I love your model! lol

There is a place for mindless knitting isn't there? I love the color!

I also really like your "life is good" list. It is always good to stop and do a little inventory on the things to be thankful for. I start my list with a couple things and find I end up with a list with 50 things! Life IS good!

Very pretty scarf. And yes, the library refund should be spent wherever it makes you happiest!

Life is good because I'm getting pizza, pinot & pedis with two of my besties tonight.

Life is good because Sissy still sees.

Life is good because Gretchen is indeed a determined JRT sometimes.

Life is good because it's AWESOME to see someone I knew as a scrawny, kind kid is now a hard-working but even kinder man.

Life is good because the Knight is in a good mood.

No ideas on the finished scarf, before it was finished, yes, but after - dying might work. But, honestly does it bother you? if not, don't worry about it.

life is good because last night was knitting with the gals at the mexican restaurant. and today is the last day of work for the week! g

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
