On this day in 2014 I was living in Jackson Wyoming. I was at home taking pictures of a scarf I knitted. This one was created from a discontinued Red Heart yarn named Symphony. I liked the way these photos turned out and this scarf was listed on a now discontinued site named Zibbet. Anyone remember that place? All of us that joined had such high hopes for a good Etsy replacement, but it didn't happen. Many Etsy sellers went there in frustration after Chad Dickerson changed the definition of handmade to include "designed by with production partners" which has led in part to the current large number of resellers and print on demand t shirt shops.
Anyway, about the picture that I liked best of that day...
You can see that the yarn made a light fabric. It drapes well and with the fluffiness of the yarn scarves made from this are light and still warm. I have some others in different colors too. Some day they should all be on line but not now. I have decided that since Jim likes to travel so often I am throwing in the towel on the idea of opening a shop and then putting it in vacation mode a few times a year. At our age we may not be traveling this much forever so my time will come later.
The beauty of this thinking is that I plan on doing a lot more "just for me" crafting. That is the reason for the sock project and the plans to start making more of my own clothes. I have lots of quilts and sweaters in my mind waiting to be done as well. I will always have something to work on. It has been that way my whole life and as long as my hands and eyes work it will always be that way.
Back with more again soon.
Take care and stay cozy!
