One less WIP

I've been busy cleaning and reorganizing closets, drawers, and my sewing room. The drawers are finished. The closets are finished, but the sewing room... oh, my! It is a true disaster zone! I can walk through the doorway now, and I've been finding some wonderful treasures!

Yesterday, I found a scarf that I had started last summer or fall. I couldn't find the pattern, and I was feeling a little distraught about it. Then, I remembered that I had bought the yarn when shopping with my daughter Alison, and that I had bought a wonderful little book, Luxury Yarn One-Skein Wonders edited by Judith Durant. The scarf was more than half finished, and the pattern is a one-row repeat, so I decided to finish it up.

I used Sublime baby cashmere merino silk dk. The pattern, Boise Cashmere Scarf designed by Dawn Leeseman (p. 141), took two 50g balls, each 127 yds.

I love this scarf, and now I have one less Work In Progress!

  2. I have a dining room table covered in crafty clutter you could come organize for me...if you have some energy to spare. (Hee, hee)

  5. Lucky you--finished a pretty scarf and cleaned your sewing room.
    I was on a vacation last week and started on Monday 5/30 cleaning my sewing room--I still have lots of stuff that I took out of the room and separated into piles that I do not know where to put. I hope inspiration will hit soon and I will clean the rest up. It just gets too overwhelming.
