Let's get to the exciting part first: who won the Think Summer Give-Away? The random number generator (also known as my dear daughter) chose number 7, which would be Gracie Saylor! Congratulations! If you can send your address to deborah.kades@gmail.com, I'll get your package into the mail!
Instead of indulging myself in casting on yesterday, I pulled this out of my closet:
It's a
Brickless scarf that I started last year with Miss Babs Yowsa. Isn't the color gorgeous? I don't know why I dropped the ball on this, so to speak. It is a great pattern -- and a useful one for Wisconsin weather!
Miss Babbs doesn't call this yarn Yowsa for nothing. In addition to being beautiful, it comes with an enormous yardage: 560 yards of worsted weight. Has anyone make a Brickless out of Yowza? If so, did you use the entire skein? I'm afraid I could end up with a scarf that is too long -- if there is such a thing.
It's back to school on Wednesday, so I'm savoring these last few days!
I remember when you were working on that one. It's gorgeous! That certainly will brighten up a grey, snowy day.
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful!!!! I do love Miss Babs. I stood in line to get some of her yarn at the MDSW to see what the fuss was about and I totally get it now.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful color. Have you checkd on Ravelry to see if anyone made one with Miss Babs?
ReplyDeleteHooray for Gracie!!! She is the best and deserves this wonderful win. I started a baby balnket last night after three attempts.
ReplyDeleteYeah for Gracie. Yeah for your give away. Yeah for the color!!!! Im all about pinks right now
ReplyDeleteThat is yummy! Yay for trying to finish beautiful things up so they can be loved!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful yarn! I am back to school tomorrow - reluctantly
ReplyDeleteI have a skein of Yowza that I purchased just for a Brickless! I should cast on and knit one ASAP! Thank you for this lovely reminder!
ReplyDeleteYay for Gracie - congratulations!! Your Brickless is gorgeous. What a wonderful, cheerful color!
ReplyDeleteLucky Gracie! That sure is a beautiful color. One of these years I'm going to make a Brickless. It's been a to-do way too long.
ReplyDeletebeautiful knit! lovely yarn it looks like it has some lovely squish factor :)
ReplyDeleteI did! But then again, I'm tall so I loved it. The good thing about the pattern is that you can quit at any point you like really. Love your color!!
ReplyDeleteWOW! Thank you! I was just admiring your hats in your most recent post and wishing I had a one that would cover my ears better because it was 16degrees when I left the house this morning and 23degrees when I got home several hours later [probably a heat wave for you, Deborah :) ] Then I scrolled back to see if I missed a post and said "What???" out loud when I realized I was reading my name as winner thanks to your dear daughter number generator :) I will email you shortly!
