Oh, the scarf is just lovely already!!! It's a 26 row repeat pattern that is repeated 19 times. Lots of cabling and shaping and loveliness! It's addicting to knit as well. I knit it until 1am last night. My hands were cramping from all the cabling and I HAD to put it away. Here it is 1 1/2 repeats into the pattern. Oh, I can't WAIT for this to be done!!!



I think I want to do something like this coronet hat, but, I think I'll do the same cabling as the scarf, but, with a wider, plain straight edge on one side. Then I'll pick up stitches for the main part of the hat. Oh, it'll be gorgeous!!! I need more yarn, yes, indeedy I do!

I have a friend coming from Eau Claire today and we plan on heading to the beach to keep cool. It's going to be about 99degrees with a heat index of 103 (at least!) The UV index is supposed to be 9 so we'll be FRIED if we don't slather on the sunscreen. It'll be great to see her! Haven't seen B.J. since 4th of July and the kids miss her as well!

I'll hopefully post pics later on scarf progress and pictures from today's adventures.
