Morning!

sorry about the poor quality thumbnail of Pearl yesterday - but if you click the photo you'll see the good copy.

on sunday night i made what i am calling my "prime time" scarf. i wanted a long skinny scarf (remember how i almost redid the tori shawl?) and my large projects weren't giving me the immediate gratification that i need. so i started it just before 8 pm. stopped knitting around 11, and put fringe on. i'll post pictures (i swear i will.... eventually) but it is about 12 feet long! (size 17 needles, 12 stitches.) i love the colors, and while it is a scarf, it's actually more springy than a winter scarf. (i thought it could be a summer one, but it's actually a little too warm for that.)

i wore it monday because it was a cold rainy day and the color - all shades of green - was bright and springy. the only comment i got on it was "is it st patrick's day?"

today it looked sunny and warm out, but it was a little colder than that. the scarf was in the car so i wore it again today.

i have to share a great quote about the yarn crawl - pamela small (who lives in NYC and has been very helpful in planning the trip!) said in an email -
"This is great fun--it's like being an alcoholic and touring Napa Valley."

that just made me smile when i first got the email and for some reason i thought of it today.

cheers.
