As it was cool last evening, I was able to do a little more of the kimono - only two more repeats and the body will be mostly done.

I’m entertaining ideas for the front of the garment.  Part of me think frog closures would be perfect and absolutely appropriate.  I suppose I might even contrive to learn how to tie the decorative knots sometimes used for that purpose.  Part of me suspects that I’ll be ready to settle for buttons and loops by the time I get there :) I hope not - frogs really do seem to be the way to go.

I’d like to tell you that I’ll be working on this over the weekend, but since the temperatures are going back up into the 90s tomorrow, I don’t think it’s likely.  Oh, well…

I also managed a few more repeats on the scarf, though work on this isn’t temperature sensitive :) Even though the vintage mohair is quite warm, the scarf doesn’t make a huge, hot pile in my lap so I can pretty much work on it any time.

It’s going to be wider than I thought, maybe 8” or so?  I hope that’s not too wide to be practical, but I don’t think want to compromise the pattern nor work it on smaller needles in order to narrow it.  And if it’s going to be wide anyway, perhaps an edging, just to enhance things, might be a thought.  Hmmm…





This is what my project-in-the-works area looks like.  That’s not too bad, but what you can’t see are the bags of things - swatches, practice yarn, partially dones and experiments under the coffee table :) tend to think most people work neater than I do.  What can I say?  If I don’t keep stuff in front of me, I forget about it when the next interesting idea comes along :)

And Jade gave me an interesting photo this morning.  She had already had her breakfast at this point, but clearly she wouldn’t have minded a little snack :)

Hope you all have a nice weekend.  Me, I’m going to try and focus on my projects and try not to be too frightened about yesterday’s Supreme Court decision.  But I have the dread filled suspicion this one’s gonna get real ugly.
