Don’t think I ever posted this bad boy complete. I really love it. In the summer, it’s a delightful wrap, for those chilly evenings out on the town. For the winter, it’s a monster scarf, super cozy, for those chilly days out on the Arctic Hellscape.
Pattern: Lady Eleanor’s Shawl, by *** from Scarf Style.
Yarn: [...]

**And I am a pink nightmare.
A glorious birthday at the Buffalo Marina. Somebody wanted to see the pack ice. The pink hood is a bit much for day to day wear. But visiting pack ice? With a windchill of a gajillion below zero? We love the giant pink hood!

So finally, finally, the WooLee Winder and I have clicked and we now make oh, so happy yarn together. But what’s this?

Yes, that is a glimpse of Satan’s WooLee Winder. Still trying to love it. But we made some angry yarn together … [...]

Daddy Fell into the Pond
by Alfred Noyes
1952
Everyone grumbled. The sky was grey.
We had nothing to do and nothing to say.
We were nearing the end of a dismal day,
