So, how do you spend the day before The Big Day?
You go shopping...obviously.
Obviously, you need to stock up on yarn because the scarf is finished, pressed and folded in readiness for a drop in temperature - hasn't this weekend been glorious, though?
This scarf was a joy to knit. Lurking in the bottom of the Loop bag are 4 more balls of Rowan Cocoon, this time, Bilberry, (colourway 812) to make one as a Christmas gift for my lovely friend.
All well and good, if I ever have time to knit again...
Good luck, good luck, good luck!!!

The scarf is quite beautiful and looks so soft - I think that you will find that for a short while you will not have time to knit but then you will find a new routine and the fingers will start to itch again. You will always find time for things that are important to you.
The scarf is beautiful.

I've been wearing my lacy scarf today for the first time - hope you've had some wear from yours too. And by the time you read this, your first day will be done and I hope it's been smashing!
ReplyDeleteI hope your first day has been super (or as super as a first day can be!). I'm sure it will seem overwhelming at first, but then as Alice says, you'll settle into a new routine with time to knit! Thinking of you (wearing that gorgeous scarf). K x
