Why yes, I have been knitting! I bought some mixed colors of Koigu PPM (a well known hand-dyed 100% merino sock yarn) from my friend Linda at the spinning workshop on Orcas, and used 4 of the colors to knit the Koigu Linen Stitch Scarf, which is part of the Churchmouse Classics collection (purchase online and download as a PDF file).
But I didn’t want the stringy fringe that they employ, so I knit it with the yarns running up one edge. Well, for 3 of them anyway – for the 4th color that was used less often, I started at the opposite end and broke off the end when the stripe was completed. This eliminated some bulk and a long carry at the main end.
But then it looked kind of plain, so I used all of the yarn I had left over to knit the little corkscrews and sewed them to each end. I love it!! This has given me an idea which I will be pursuing….
We went for a walk this morning. Lovely morning. This is a shot of Mt Gardner taken from Wolf Creek Rd, just where you turn onto our road:
I also took some shots of the master bedroom, since we have it pretty much together, with artwork hung and all:
The propane fireplace still needs to be trimmed out, but Rick did find the trim kit (and the manual) out in the garage so we have what we need. Eventually, there will be a mantle and wood surround, with bookcases on both sides. It’s nice to have the little seating area, though, and we can take the chairs out on the deck in the summer if we want to sit outside. The view is of Mt Gardner from the master bedroom, although we only see the top of it from here:

Very pretty scarf, and I like the corkscrew curls on the end a lot. I can’t wait to see/hear what your idea is!
The place looks just beautiful. Today was a perfect day for walking and taking pictures.
Your new place is just lovely. It seems to suit you both quite well. Nice move. Love the scarf, too.
