Scarfing it up

Aside from there being no word on my poor poor car, the day went well enough -- I was feeling enough better that I walked over to my standing therapy appointment in Davis Square, stopped to buy straight #8 needles, and hardly coughed at all. So I feel well enough to go into work tomorrow.

In the meantime, I've been knitting up a storm... I've really got the lace pattern down on the Orenberg Scarf. I'm putting on a safety pin to the edge every four rows -- and a big one when the pattern starts repeating -- to keep track of where I am, since it's a large repeat with frequent changes.

The yarn is a delightful blend of mohair and silk, so it's so very soft, and yet rather strong. This scarf is going to catch on everything, I fear, but it may be worth it in the end.

This is kind of a blotchy photo in this light, but it should give you the idea of the color and shape, as well as how far I've gotten. I'm still on the first skein.....

Lovely!

Sorry there's been no word on the car, though. Frustrating.

Also, I haven't forgotten about the basement. I've just been swamped. Hopefully this weekend...
