Ha Ha ! I've made it to Friday ! and I'm still in one piece - all appointments kept, all unexpected flies in the ointment dealt with (requesting that the child who has a history of trying to bully Mini Diva is moved so that he is no longer sitting right next to her) and only some normal stuff left to deal with today: a bit of housework, and some soapy stuff - cutting and curing, a couple of new batches to make (most likely cedarwood-patchouli and cool citrus basil). And dinner. I feel like cooking dinner - of course, the drugs may wear off in the interim and I return to my normal stove-avoiding state.
I finished the scarf for UberCool Brother and mailed it off to him on Tuesday. He called me Thursday and proved himself knitworthy by the rave review he gave it; the rave review a friend of his gave my soap was also fantastic to hear ...
Here are nice photos of the blocked scarf:
Unfortunately, the scarlet runner beans aren't ours, but our neighbor's, climbing over to our side of the fence. Ours .... died.
It was made from Skein Queen 'Squash' 4ply/fingering 100% merino in the colorway 'Aunt Betty's Pond'. The stitch pattern is German Herringbone Rib.
More yumminess can be seen - as usual - over at Tami's Amis, where we are all celebrating a year of FOs ....
That is absolutely beautiful! And I'm glad you made it to Friday in one piece!
