The whole country seems to be in the deep freezer at the moment. This is the perfect time to stay in and knit.
I was just checking my previous posts, and saw I had not posted a picture of the finished whisper scarf #1.
So without any delay - here is the picture I took when the blocking was done.
I did manage to get the #2 whisper scarf done on New Years Eve. Just in time to allow me to cast on the Queen Susan shawl at about 20 after midnight on New Years Day.
I got the yarn on New years eve, promptly wound and got ready to cast on.
While working with yarn that is the size of sewing thread at first scared me a bit, I have found it very relaxing to work on.
So much so that I now consider it my reward in the evening for working on other projects during the day. This will be a project that will take a bit- if my calculations are correct ( I do not even attempt to say I am good at math), it looks like the center section is going to take me around 3 mos or so.
Once the project gets a repeat done ( 38 rows) I will get a picture of it to show.
Last evening Chey came in the house - minus her collar. She some how has figured out how to throw it off her head every now and then.
So we headed out to look for it, unfortunately finding the chain collar in the snow pack is a bit of an adventure.
So I enlisted her help.
(picture is her with it on a few weeks ago)
So far, no luck. But she is enjoying digging the snow when I throw a snowball in a spot and let her dig.
Guess who is getting a new collar this week?

The lace scarf is gorgeous. :)
That is a lovely and delicate scarf!
And I figure about 3 months as well, at 4 or 5 rows a day.
Glad I made you laugh! That upside-down frog picture makes me giggle every time I look at it.
