Grandpa has a few doctor’s appointments this week, the first of which was yesterday. He had to have a big thing scrapped of his head (um, I almost gagged when they were doing it, had to stick my fingers in my ears and hum). So we’re sitting in the waiting room (for a long time), …

Finished Object: Cheveron Scarf
This chevron scarf from Last Minute Knitted Gifts was so much fun to knit… when I started. I added an extra repeat in the middle to make it wider because I like to wrap scarfs around my head in the rain. It’s such a mindless easy pattern, with only one pattern row out of four: …
