Birthday Square Scarf

That's what I decided to call it when I gave it to my mom this past weekend. "Here's your Entrelac scarf" just doesn't sound very pretty. I hated to part with it, but when all was said and done the scarf was 62" long and looked a tad more even all around from blocking it. (I pinned the sucker to a mattress, gave it a few quick spritzes with a water bottle and that was that.) When my mother opened it, she said she really liked it and that the colors were just right. (Yippee!) Here are a couple of photos of the finished scarf.

Happy Birthday Mom!

Hope everyone had a nice weekend!

Question of the night...

Ashley came into the kitchen this evening and said
"So, mom, were the loopy's singing 'Rehab' the other night???"

(first of all, since when did you start calling us 'the loopy's' and second, where did you ever hear "Rehab"??? :)

Entrelac Scarf

Ingrid and Kathleen's scarves look so nice I thought I would share the pattern here for any of you loopy ewes that might like to try it.

Another fun night!

Last night was great fun again! Pam, I am still full from all that great food. The calzones you made were excellent!!! The dip was very good and I think I am going to buy some of those Cape Cod tortilla chips. Oh, were they good. I loved the veggies and dip. Eating those sort of negated all the calories from the turtle sundaes. I've never had an ice cream so good!!!! Thank you so much!

Susan, I hope your surgery goes well on Tuesday. We'll be thinking of you!
Kathleen, the scarf is just gorgeous! Both you and Ingrid have inspired me to make one! I just need to pick out the colors. Judi, the yarn on your bag is just the softest! I can't wait to see it when you finish!! Have fun in Minnesota. We will miss you! Dawnelle, I'm sorry it looks like our field trip is a no go! Ingrid, thanks for sharing all those books. I have some gift certificates I need to use. I want to get The Friday Night Knitting Club. I noticed that it is being made into a movie with Julia Roberts!

Knit-Out

Dawnelle suggested this as a field trip but when I google it, it shows that the show has been cancelled. Am I reading this wrong?
