Last weekend’s lace scarf blocked and photo’d!

Besides being the day to celebrate Thanksgiving, I have a completed project to share with you today! Yesterday was photography session and I snuck in some shots of the narrow scarf version of Elemental Changes Shetland Stole, the HeartStrings pattern that will be released in a couple of weeks.

This is the knitting I brought along to work on during my travel-time to and from Sophie’s Fall Knitting Retreat where I taught this past weekend. We were at Clifty Falls State Park just across the Kentucky state line in Indiana. Wonderful knitters, accommodations and hospitality all around made for delightful classes and even some knitting down-time for myself in the evenings.

The knitting went quickly on this small scarf, probably because I had not taken my computer along and thus did not have that distraction, lol. As those who saw the knitting-in-progress can likely attest, it didn’t look like much at the time before blocking. It still absolutely fascinates me to block lace and see the finished product so beautifully transformed.

Thanksgiving wishes and Bon Appetit!

For those of you in the USA, have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Whatever makes up your holiday, I hope it is a grand day for you and yours. For those who have loved ones far away, I send hopes that you are reunited soon.  For those who will be traveling during the holiday, I wish you safe journeys.  For those who are cooking, I wish you enthusiastic clean-up crews.  To those who are on clean-up detail, I wish you good luck in fitting all the leftovers into the fridge.   

In keeping with the theme of “Taking Time to Smell the Roses”, my idea these days of Thanksgiving is to let someone else do the cooking. So my man-friend John and I will be heading down to the Thanksgiving buffet at Hotel Intercontinental. Bon Appetit!
