Drum roll please--I just finished the 8th chart on my scarf of doom, and now have only two and a bit till it is complete! Here is the chart 8 section,
And here is a close up of the section that I adapted to include the rune for 'd' like the map in the book has.
I also finally finished off the third tribble which is destined as a gag gift for someone. They're multiplying!
This morning I started an alternate birthday present for someone here because I'm not sure that she would wear the Noro scarf I started for her. So here is an 'oatmeal' sort of project--simple and comforting. I had some Wool-Ease I had forgotten about in a lovely gray color, so I started a cowl.
Finally in other knitting news, I finished the first of the blue socks that I really wish were done now since my toes are so often cold, and have started the second one.
Last night I made baked apples since I had the oven on already for bread and supper. Hollow out an apple, pack the core with raisins or walnuts, drizzle with honey and some brown sugar, bake, and it's heaven in a bite!
Yesterday was the winter solstice here in the Southern Hemisphere, and while there is a part of me that loves snuggling in my warm knitted things, I really wish I had a way to heat my home a bit. Oh well--it will be hot season all to soon!
Parting shot: I've put out my magnetic poetry for my kids to play with, and one of my 6th grade girls wrote this yesterday.
