Irene said...: Gee, thanks everybody!

@ deborah, the pattern for the scarf derives from this cover design.

I've knitted it as a sweater three times.

jjm said...: Jeez Althouse, you sure know how to make a Florida boy feel inadequate.
First a house set to 62 degrees, then ice boating, and now barehanded snowball fights! Our house is now set to 70 degrees and I am freezing! You 60 year old northerners are tough!; 1/13/11, 10:45 PM

Nothing wrong with capitalism, Irene. It's the American way! :-); 1/14/11, 6:46 AM

Re: Canucks ban Dire Straits: Sounds like a bad case of brain freeze up there, eh? Those hosers better hope for some global warming to thaw their brains out.; 1/14/11, 6:47 AM

KCFleming said...: My son took a ceramics class (he's a high school senior). His teacher said she liked his 'soap dish'.

It was a flattened cat, with a depression and tire markings across the middle. He told her it was road kill.

For this I pay tuition.; 1/14/11, 8:09 AM

jungatheart said...: Irene, thanks for the link. I knit some, but would never attempt anything that intricate! What is the name and brand of the scarf color, please?

Deb, Zoe is adorable. I have a Zoe also, as does my second cousin's husband. A beautiful name.; 1/14/11, 1:43 PM
Irene said...: Deborah, the yarn is "Classic Elite, Inca Alpaca." I believe the color is discontinued, The color is a pale sage. The scarf, worked over 71 sts, takes five skeins. Look for the yarn at Webs (yarn.com).
