Love to infinity

If you asked me to close my eyes and step outside the front door right now and guess what season it was--I would not hesitate to say "Autumn."  Yes, it is just that cold out there.  My weather station tells me 46F, but oh that wind has a cold bite.  So cold in fact, I was really pleased I finished my infinity scarf this week.



It was one of those projects that I loved before it was even off the needles and grafted together (best graft of my career thus far, I must say).  It is just so pretty and soft and warm.  The pattern was interesting enough to keep me entertained, but easy enough I could pick it up and put it down as needed.  I've been wearing it all week in a double loop, which I thought was perfect.



Until this morning, when I discovered I could in fact do a triple loop, and that was wonderful for the cold weather (Dear Mother Nature, it is June, please send me some warmth and sunshine).  I even had to put my winter jacket back on (who knew I looked like the Stay Puft Marshmallow man in it?  Not me!!).  I took these pictures myself with the self timer on my camera.  By the end I was highly amused and slightly annoyed, it is difficult to get a decent picture this way!



Stats:
Pattern: Sol Degrade Dropped-Stitch Infinity Scarf
Yarn: "Flower Ball" Homespun by Storied Yarns, 3.3 oz, 196 yds

I hope everyone else out there is having some excellent crafting time and nice weather to go with it.  I've been contemplating jumping a plane to my homeland for some much needed Vitamin D.  However my parents are visiting for a month in July, oh will they be in for a surprise if it doesn't warm up by then!!

Take care everyone!

  12. Lovely scarf, and normally terribly unseasonable. But given recent weather, I'd say it was just about perfect!

  13. I'm sorry to hear your summer is so cold, but, on the upside, at least to get to wear your new scarf!
