three year scarf

I am kind of in love with knitting that looks like weaving .. even if it takes me 3 years to make!

Loads of perfectly tiny knots, all lined up nice and neat, keeping things tidy .. worth every moment of 3 years!

In the beginning I was fearful that it would become tedious and that I would fixate on quickly finishing and then get pissy that it was taking so long. But really it has calmed me towards the idea of keeping an ongoing unfinished project (not something I usually do) and just working on it whenever .. three years later, turns out I’m perfectly OK having a long lagging project hanging around, in fact I kind of let it lax even more so because I had no predetermined end date in my head ..nice!

(Working with koigu always helps.)

Honestly though, I am still very much a monogamous knitter .. who may soon be starting another three year scarf !

BIG & LITTLE

Our BIG Lilacs are swallowing the porch! ..Jason routinely picks up a LITTLE inch worm shoulder hitchhiker as he squeezes through the tiny path leading out (cute & gross!)

haha an obscenely BIG Tunisian crochet hook ..that I partly bought for the pure absurdity of it (makes me giggle every time I look at it!)

Year Two

This was our fifth trip out and we will never get used to it taking 30+ minutes to travel a half mile.

Deep in the city, Boston was beautifully in bloom, what a gorgeous view our girl had, you can almost see her waving from the 2nd floor! HI chachi ♥

Touring around .. such architecture

we will never get used to a city with so much packed into the tiniest of spaces.

It went from 94ºF in Northampton (HELLO WEBS!) to right around 55ºF on the coast south of Boston. “Winds in the east, mist coming in, like something is brewing about to begin.”

While we may never fully get used to thick city air, bustling city streets or the organized disorder, it is slowly becoming comfortably familiar with less and less swears with each trip!

Another year notched in, we are 3 in tow, homeward towards Midwestern skies, flat lands and reliable quiet ♥
