Yes, that's right. I have another finished project to share here today. This is based on the Summer Sprig Lace Scarf. I say based on because I did the main body according to the pattern, which you can find on Ravelry.com by the way. Because I was in serious danger of running out of yarn trying to do the edging pattern as written I modified it. In other words I made up a kind of shell and loop pattern and had just a tiny bit left when I finished that row. I do like how it turned out.
The yarn used is from Joann's. (It looks like lots of their stores will be closing soon, did you hear about that? https://knitting.craftgossip.com/joann-bankruptcy-updates/2025/02/14/). It is 100% cotton in the k&c line. It comes in hanks that have to be wound and has about 400 yards in a hank. Last time I saw it in Joann's it was marked half price, originally $10 down to $5 and because it on clearance you can't get any more discounts on it.
In other ugly news and for once I don't mean the current state of our dying democracy, Jim has a lot of little things going on that are taking lots of appointments to sort out. He started with fluid on his lungs, then stubbornly high blood pressure, a blood clot in his heart, some spots on his lungs that could be from Valley Fever and oh yeah, a mass on his right kidney. There have been MRIs and PET scans and sonagrams and blood draws. He is getting weary from all the appointments that don't lead to cures but just more tests and a new appointment at another specialist. It is worrying but I don't even know what to worry about most. I say he is going to pieces. He says, "How can so many things be wrong when I feel pretty good?" He did feel good until yesterday when he got what seems to be a terrible head cold and I have no idea if this could be related to his Vasculitis or any of the other issues that are being investigated.
Enough for now.
Back with more again soon.
Take care and stay cozy!
