A Scarf for Isabelle


My dear friend Isabelle was recently taken with a scarf that I had made and wanted one just like it. The search to match the multicolored yarn with various sparkly beads was not successful. I fabricated something from sparkly tape and approximate colors, it will have to do. Then tragedy struck, the scarf was not as long as mine. With some help from a friend weaver/craftswoman, I fabricated the macrame fringe with the sparkly tape to create length. I think it works, I hope she does, too

One Year Afghan

After a long year of working on this afghan, it is ready for tidying up. Looks pretty good on the duvette I think, the colors work. The yarn was all left-overs from various other projects. Yes there are a few bit of yarn still remaining, but they will end up in other smaller projects. This afghan is quite heavy actually and I was surprised to feel the weight. Small for a kingsized bed, it will fit nicely on the bed in the camper.  We will try it out in April when we hit the road and leave Vermont behind for a few weeks.
