Finished Object: Eternity Scarves

My Friend Marcy has made a few of these and her daughter Michelle has made five that I know of...
I started my first one on the Monday before we flew to Minnesota and finished it on Wednesday. I started the second one on the airplane on the way out there.

the first one I made out of Blue Moon Fiber Arts Twisted in Firecracker. I found it at Churchmouse yarn on Bainbridge Island when mom was visiting over Thanksgiving.

If you are a knitter and you are in the Seattle area you have to hop the ferry and head to Churchmouse...totally worth it. I could spend hours there. I did spend hours there, as well as money...



The second one I made out of Blue Sky Alpaca hand dyed worsted. 50% Alpaca, 50% Merino. It's heavy and soft and I'm smitten with it.

The first one I wore the whole time I was in Minnesota (more to prevent mom from stealing it out from under my nose)
The second one I have worn during the snowy weather in Seattle. (it's possible I took a short nap in it right after I finished it)

The Green Afghan under the scarves was
crocheted for me by my mom over 35 years ago
I love it.
Its one of the only things she crocheted.
She loves knitting more.

Love this pattern! Currently eyeballing my stash to see what else I can make it out of!
Are you wondering how my stash busting challenge is going? So far so good. I've walked in three yarn shops and while I haven't bought any yarn I've bought a whole lot of other stuff...but that's a completely different post.

Went yarn shopping with mom at a couple shops in Minnesota! There was one in a tiny town about 45 minutes from her house in Buffalo Minnesota, and they had a huge selection in a very tiny space...felt like we were going to be attacked from above!

Knitter Down...I Repeat, We Have a Knitter Down...

It's probably not that dramatic, well maybe it is, who can say for sure....but I can say this, right now from my elbow to my wrist is some gnarly pain that was flared last night after knitting 6 rows of the Shawl...SIX ROWS and then WHAMMO! so much pain. This isn't the first day I've had this, I've actually been ignoring for a few days ...okay, I've been ignoring it for a couple weeks but this is the worst it's been...So, I've made inquiries as to which doctor to see and am waiting to hear back to make an appointment...while I wait ice packs, and copious amounts of pain meds (don't worry by copius I really mean, recommended daily dose) are being taken with the shedding of a few tears while I fondle my knitting... stay tuned...this can't possibly last forever xoxoxo c. p.s. Fati...don't worry I have a plan if this whole wrist issues blows out of control...
