: The big chill
We didn't get any snow from the last storm, but the temperatures have been hovering near zero degrees F (and only that high because I am near Lake Michigan) with a strong breeze. It is the kind of weather where I don't go out except for life and death issues. Yes, I missed the Milwaukee Knitting Meetup on Tuesday.
The sunshine is cheerful. I have been skipping the afternoon nap, a survival thing for the long days of summer, and instead napping in the evenings. That has had a bonus, was able to stay up to chat with friends on the west coast last night.
The navy scarf is over 7 feet long, but still have a way to go to meet the criterion that a scarf should be longer than the wearer's height. It is still on the needles, will continue working on it but could probably stop any day now. I have decided to put another 4 inches of K3P3 ribbing on the end instead of closing it. Will be more symmetrical and and open tube.
Of course, the scarf may stretch a bit when blocked as I am using a light fingering weight wool yarn on No. 3 needles, a lot less dense fabric than for the several pairs of socks I have made from this cone before.
