Oh, the Weather Outside is Frightful!


Waiting at the bus stop on a wintry morning is... less than comfy. So I started working on a scarf for Daisy while I was walking on the treadmill. Just last night I finished off the hat. For working without a pattern, mostly while I was on the treadmill, I think it worked out pretty well! She wore it all day -- even with her pretty dress at church! She tried it out in the backyard this afternoon and it worked great. Her favorite features are the hat brim and ear flaps (she has been jealous of my ear muffs) and, of course, the tassels.

(This picture was taken just after she came in from playing outside. She wore her sister's sweatshirt so it's a little small. And she got snow down the front of her jacket so it got all wet.)

Scarf it down

Why not branch out and do a little of everything this week?! I made this scarf for the daddy of the girls getting the ribbon tees. Once I got back in the crocheting groove, I couldn't put it down! I was exercising on the treadmill while watching a show with my DH and since I can only walk right now (back injury) I made a lot of progress on the scarf while walking! It does take a little coordination to do it that way, though, LOL. I wish I had been able to make it a bit longer, but I was running out of yarn. I was wishing it was mine while standing at the school bus stop this morning in a snow storm!
