Love is a Warm Scarf!

It seems like the weather has been a bit wacky all over the place lately, so it's hard to say if winter is coming or going! I've got friends who had snow and ice yesterday and are expecting a warm day today. In Seattle, we've got the cold rain that's pretty typical this time of year. I'm sure I know someone who lives somewhere that spring is already sprung, though that doesn't mean it's here to stay quite yet.

A warm scarf is a good way to beat the cold days, no matter what time of year they appear! Soft and fluffy, the scarves in my Etsy shop are skinny (2-4 inches wide) and LONG (some of them up to 9 feet long), so you can wind them around your neck a few times, or just wear them long and decorative! They're also all machine washable and made from a wide variety of fibers!

Works in progress

I've been plugging along with more scarves, and I have three more that are done and one almost done (it needs to be washed). I haven't posted any of them yet, of course, since I only just got photos of one of those taken. Yeah, I'm a wee bit behind on the photography front.

Tonight, we're going to work on getting part of the spare room organized. If it turns out that it's too crowded for both of us to work on the same area, I might try to get some pictures taken. :)

In the meantime, though, I got a custom order for a pair of Decapitated Dollies. Since they're a gift for someone I don't know, I'll refrain from posting who they are, but I will give you a hint: they're from a TV show that, somewhat inexplicably, I have never seen. It's next up on our agenda, however. :)

Scarves of Opportunity

One of the other derby refs gave me a GIGANTIC box of mixed yarn at Christmas. Most of the yarn doesn't have labels, but those skeins that do look like they're from the 70s. :) So I've been picking through the yarn and sorting it out by colors, and then making these "Scarves of Opportunity."

There's enough wool content yarn in the box that the scarves get felted/fulled when I wash them, which tightens up the stitches and makes them super duper warm. This one is also super duper long, though some of the others I've made are a bit shorter. And I've been making them like crazy, as they're a great project for while I'm watching TV (we just finished up the second and final season of "Dollhouse" and now we're watching the first season "Community") or while we game. It's a simple stitch pattern that I can do without really looking at it. :)

With as cold as it's been in Seattle lately, warm scarves are just the thing! It's hard not to want to keep one of them for myself! :)
