My life currently consists of bugs. I am seriously regretting waiting so long to have my house sprayed... but while I hate seeing creepy crawlies inside my house, outside is another matter. The butterflies are so big here, they often look like birds, and same with the cicadas (and banana spiders 😲) The snails are just as big, but if you get a magnifying glass you can see snails as small as a pin head. So cute! Although, walking on the grass is always followed by unpleasant crunching sounds... snails are that abundant. But back to the point that matters, I finished my scarf. I named it Craige na Dun, after the stones in Outlander. Shhhh it's ok, I am allowed to fangirl 😉 Hope all of you have a great holiday, that is much less full of bugs then mine is!
So, my post didn't go up yesterday because I finished Outlander and my soul was in torment 😭 But here are some shots of my current WIP shawl. It is decent knitting... the yarn is kinky and annoying, and one doesn't just purl seven stitches together with great ease. Cuss words do pop up here and there while I'm calmly knitting away. I am still excited to see how this ends up though! Btw for anyone who has read/watched Outlander, I am with you in your pain now. I am still mad at my friend's who didn't warn me that this story would destroy my soul. But, Claire and Jamie are now apart of my life... so #noregrets
THE GOOD WEATHER IS BACK. sorry. I am just very happy to see the sun. My first rainy season on Okinawa last year only last about 19 days, I believe. This year it was closer to 30. Now the sun is shining all the time, and it is certainly NOT scarf weather. But I am still hard at work trying to finish it up. This may be a project I keep for myself. I am starting to attach fond memories to it, since I watch Outlander while I work on it 😄 Can not wait to have it blocked and completed. I hope the sun is shining where ever you are, because the sun is awesome!
I tried to take a nice picture of my current WIP. But I got distracted because these two cuties wouldn't leave me alone. Ein on the left, Ed is in the right. Working in a cabled scarf. So far I am loving the cabling. It is surprisingly methodical. I usually hate cables. Ok, well I hope you are all enjoying your day. I just started watching Outlander. So I'm going to go and try not to binge the whole show. We will see... we will see.
