I finished the scarf I was making for a friend for Christmas, yeah it’s late, so what else is new :P. The color isn’t showing right on my screen, it’s actually a fawn color and not grey. This is my Little Lace Cat’s Paw Scarf that I corrected a line of the pattern and added two more rows to, it’s not a beginners pattern but it’s not hard, just pay attention to what row you are on. I knit this out of some of my hand spun cria (baby alpaca), that my daughter had given to me as a fleece and sent it off to a fiber mill to have processed into what they call bumps for spinning, which is similar to a batt of carded fiber. Soft stuff!
The next picture is of the hat I am finishing for my friend this is where she left off with her knitting. It is Quivet (muskox fiber, and is very soft stuff too, and very warm) and I am getting ready to figure out where she was with it and see if I can finish it for her.
Our temps are back up to normal, I always hate those arctic blasts, but we get them every year, and I’m sure we will get another one before the end of Feb. The days are teens and 20’s ambient temps, occasionally we get up to the mid 30’s and we think it’s spring (LOL), and the nights are single digits to below 0 ambient temps, but I’m not out at night so I keep warm at home :P. Hope everyone else is staying warm as well.
Love your cat’s paw pattern.

Thanks it was fun when I designed it back in 2007 (it says 2009 on my design page but that was when I had to put it back on after I changed platforms.) I designed it when I lived in TN and moved to the midwest in late 2008. I’ve knit it several times since :).

You could consider the scarf an early Christmas 2022 knit, then. 🙂 Knitting with super-soft yarn feels soo good!

It’s for an in law so I just consider it late, otherwise I would be cheating her out of your 2021 Christmas gift :P. I will just make her something new for this year :). If I don’t procrastinate then it will be on time!
