My name is Rowena; I'm sixty-something and my husband and I own and live in the former Lawrence County Jail in Bedford, Indiana. Our jailhouse was built in 1904 and presents lots of challenges. I love to design and make things, so this blog is a place to present those projects to you, share ideas and patterns, occasionally show you what's happening with our old house, and often just reflect on mid-life and all that goes with it.

Scarf finished!
I ran completely out of purple yarn, so the reverse knitted scarf was a little shorter than it was supposed to be. I compensated by single-crocheting an inch on each end with the rest of the green yarn and a strand of something called "Squiggle" by Crystal Palace Yarns in the same lime green. DH thinks I ruined it, but sight unseen DD pronounced the idea "awesome" so I think I have a winner. What do you think?

ReplyDeleteYour DD is a blessed girl. Ignore DH. =)
Your DH prob thought he might get it up until the girly trim yarn. :o) Very sweet scarf.
ReplyDeleteI love you guys! You might be right, Angela! He doesn't seem like a lime green and purple kind of guy, but who knows, maybe it's a midlife thing!
ReplyDeleteI think the scarf is absolutely beautiful! I am impressed with the reverse pattern...never seen it before! You do very nice work! An Heirloom!
