Red Scarf

I finished a scarf for the Red Scarf project.

Crocheted with 1 1/4 skeins of Cascade  220 Superwash, color 893 (a much deeper, richer red than this photo would have you believe) on size H crochet hook.  No pattern; just a few rows of half-double crochets on each end with the rest being double crochet. Easy peasy.

 

 

Did you hear that the deadline for scarves has been extended?  You now have until the first week of January to mail your scarves; that means there is still time to make one if you want to help out.

Hey there.  Long time no post, eh?  I have no (good) excuses so how about we just pretend I've been here all along and I'll do a Wednesday Night Bullet Post?  Okay, here goes:

• Last time I posted, I mentioned that I was going to have nine days off work (that included 2 weekends).  Sounded good, didn't it?
• I ended up having ten days off.  Sounds even better.
• It wasn't.
• I started my time off a day early and spent the first four days sick in bed (or on the couch).
• I was not quite myself for most of the time I was off work.
• I'm better now.
• Of course, I'm back at work now too.  Oh well.

• I've had what feels like A.D.D. lately; I can't concentrate on anything.
• I've fallen so far behind in my blog reading that I'll never be able to catch up.
• I think I'm going to have to hit the dreaded "mark all read" button and just start over.
• I HATE doing that; I don't like missing out on any news from my blog friends.

• My poor farm on Facebook is in serious need of some attention.
• I don't even want to look at my "Happy" Aquarium; I fear it's not very happy.

• Samm and I took Clover to see Santa one day last week.
• She liked him fine and even talked to him a little.
• She drew the line at sitting on his lap though.

• We also took her to Chuck E. Cheese for lunch the same day to see how she liked it.
• Luckily she's not afraid of the big mechanical puppets on stage because she's having her birthday party there on Sunday.
• Yes, she's having another birthday already.
• I know; I can't believe it either.

• I've done a little knitting.
• Very little.
• I'm working on Wisteria right now using Cascade Eco + in red. 
  
  
   
• I whipped through the neck and thought I'd breeze right through the rest of the patterning in no time.
• Wrong.
• I knit every patterned row two or three times for several days.  (see A.D.D. comment above)
• Thankfully, I have been able to knit each row just once for the last two days.
• I have just 12 rows to go before switching to plain stockinette.
• I was hoping to have this sweater for Christmas (for myself) but I'm not counting on that anymore.

• I started crocheting a scarf the other day for the Red Scarf Project  using Cascade 220 Superwash. 

  

• It really isn't wider on the top than the bottom; it's distorted in this picture.
• The project is running seriously short of scarves this year.
• If you can, please knit or crochet one (or more).  Guidelines are here.
• The deadline is December 15th.

I think I'll end here before another night gets away from me.  Have a good one!
