Look Mom, She Actually Does Knit!

I know that scarves are pretty pedestrian, but they remain one of my very favorite things to knit.  They’re simple, fairly quick, and a satisfying accessory for half of the year.  I picked up some dusky blue Baby Alpaca Brush for this scarf:

If you’ve never worked with this yarn before, go check it out.  It’s sooooo soft and gorgeous and really quite affordable for as nice as it is.  Makes great hats too (provided it’s not too rainy a day).  Finishing this is a big part of my weekend at home.

Palin Bingo last night left me with only a teensy hangover this morning.  Coffee has helped.  Ian kicked my ass on the bingo card and got the first and only bingo with “Special Needs”, filling out the rest of the bingo line with “Alaska”, the free center “Air Space”, “Hockey Mom” and “Terrorists”.  If we could have used Biden’s words as well it might have been him buying me dinner rather than the other way around.

I’ll be walking the Portland Fall Home & Garden Show this afternoon to check in on some customers and competitors, if I see anything worthy of mentioning, I’ll be sure to pass it on.
