One FO, One New UFO

First to all, here's the Cobblestone sweater, finished, washed and blocked, and finally modeled by Hubster, who is very satisfied with it (he better be!). I'm happy with it too. He's out at the Lion's Club meeting tonight wearing it - I told him I was not taking order for any others no matter how his friends begged. His will be unique in Putnam.

I have a lot of little projects in mind, but I don't know yet what the next BIG one will be. Here's a little project I just started last night. At Show-and-Tell at the Knitters Guild meeting last week, Pat showed this scarf, and I just fell in love with it. I've been looking half-heartedly for a pattern for a neckerchief-type scarf, but all the ones I've seen have a straight-across top, like a real triangle. This one has a curved top edge, so it will fit around your neck without bunching up in the back. Anyway, I asked her for the pattern, and she kindly mailed it to me, so here's my first few rows.

And by the way, I have already frogged this three times, before I finally got the pattern down in my mind. It's really easy - I just kept doing it wrong.

And this is how the striped scarf is coming along - a friend of mine really likes it so she may be getting it as a surprise gift.

This is under the Small World of Coincidences category - I was just talking this morning with D2, who lives in Los Angeles, about the AARP magazine cover of Jamie Lee Curtis, and how great she looks with her grey hair and honest wrinkles - no haircolor or cosmetic surgery for her! And D2 just called me and said: Guess who walked into my needlepoint class this afternoon? Yes, Jamie Lee Curtis! And she really does look great just as she is. Simple chic.
