You will not get to wear your fluffy woolen scarf, no matter how pretty it turned out. Everyone else will be so happy to put on flip-flops once again, and it will all be because of you. You, meanwhile, will enjoy staring at your scarf neatly folded on the shelf until next November. Sigh.
I am a smart and sassy wife and mother with six lovely offspring (three boys, three girls). I dislike going places with them; it's such hard work. So we stay home most of the time and enjoy our chaos without an audience. Here I am, a Queen Bee with a house full of drones (if only . . .), a nest full of noisy fledglings. Honestly, I just like my little cocoon. I love doing homey things like baking and sewing and reading and decorating. This blog is about all of that.

How to create great weather
If you're suffering from too much snow and frigid temperatures, here is the foolproof way to end them: Knit yourself a lovely scarf. The whole time you're knitting, the temps will hover in the 20's. You will knit madly, so excited to finish! Finally the day will come when you cast off the final stitch. That day will be 71º. And it will not be below 65º ever after.
I need to try that on our Utah weather. I think we all need a link to the scarf pattern-- it's gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWow that is beautiful Jennie. And, so are you. I love the colors.
ReplyDeleteI love the scarf, and I wish that advice would work for my weather. The problem is, by the time I learned to knit and finished the scarf, it would be NEXT winter, and I would miss the warm weather all together.
ReplyDeleteAnd the knitting lessons begin...
ReplyDeleteGORGEOUS scarf, by the way. You're amazing.
Gol, Jennie, why don't you just get ugly so the rest of us won't feel like stumps!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous scarf, too!
you could come see me and put that thing to use.
ReplyDeleteHow long will it take me to learn to knit?
First of all, WOW that is an amazingly beautiful scarf! I am usually not one for homemade knitted stuff. But I have to say that is actually very very attractive.
ReplyDeleteSecondly, that does suck about it being too warm for it now. It must have taken you forever to make something so complex! Hey, I have an idea. Just pop up here for a visit, I promise it'll get plenty of wear.
Thirdly, You've already confessed about the state of your closet so I assume you're using the phrase "folded neatly on the shelf" as a figure of speech.
p.s. What an impressive bustline! LOL.
Dear Jennie,
ReplyDeleteI love you. I miss you. I even like your scarf.
Love,
Kellie
Your scarf looks great. I am doing the same thing to myself with an afghan right now. Started it too late to enjoy it this season. Darn.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty scarf! I love the flower accent on it. You model your handiwork quite nicely, I must say.
ReplyDeleteHi Jennie, I'm freezing up here. Send me that beautiful scarf, I'll give it a good home.
ReplyDeleteyour good friend, Kate
That turned out so pretty! Sorry you have to wait until November. (But November will come all too soon, I'm sorry to say.)
ReplyDeleteOoo, such a pretty scarf! Is the pattern on Ravelry?
ReplyDeleteOkay, so I just found it on Ravelry, and when I had the projects page up my daughter pointed to your picture and said, "Oooo, that one's pretty!"
