A Friday Post

     Here it is Friday, and I must say that it sure is a pretty one.  With the temperature at 72 degrees, I napped on the porch and enjoyed it.  With such a mild winter and as hot and humid as the last two summers were, I think about climate change.  Many don't want to discuss it.  Talk about or hear about it, but I'm a firm believer that this is happening here and now.  It's frightening to think what the future holds for our children and grandchildren.  Getting back to today though.....It's what my beautiful daughter-in-law would call a "Bluebird" day.  It's perfect.
     My dear friend who I gave the scarf to for Christmas, was sweet enough to take a couple of pictures of it for me.  When I posted about it a few days ago, it had already been gifted and I forgot to take pictures.  So here are the two pictures, and the pattern was easy and enjoyable.  There really isn't a wrong side to the scarf as each side looks like a totally different pattern.  The colors were all on the one skein of yarn.



I've done quite a lot more on the blue scarf that I posted about the other day, and the pattern is a different on.  Though cross stitching is my favorite kind of needle work, I enjoy knitting and crocheting both.

I've also done enough on my "Mares Eat Oats" piece to show you the five colors that its worked up in.  Lovely earth tones, and I'm really liking what it's looking like.



I see that I have 99 followers at this time, and for those that have been here a while know that I promised a surprise package when drawing a name from a hat, or bowl, or a shoe or plant pot or whatever! LOL.  So for my newer friends, if you didn't know about it, please leave your name and email address with me so I can add you to the pile.  It shouldn't be long now before we hit that 100! Now that we're headed towards spring, I'll fill the package with springy things! I always love doing this type of thing!

So for now and for today, I'll let y'all go to enjoy the rest of it.  Please be safe and warm and well.  One last thing of course is to "feel the colors".  Love you all.

  3. Oh I love the scarf. Looks warm and cozy to wrap up in. Great progress on your WIP and love the pile of floss. I enjoy organizing so that would make me happy haha.

    I agree with you about the weather being scary. I don't know if we can do enough to fix it though now.
