This scarf is from Vogue Knitting, It uses bulky weight yarn and short rows. This color is a Civil War blue. The short rows make that nice ruffle along one edge. Once I got used to short rows, this one was fun. I had actually bought this yarn to make a sweater. However, the pattern I was using just wasn't what I wanted. I took out the whole sweater and made this instead.
I've had a couple of bad days. My dad found out he has shingles. My poor mom is taking care of him and it's just not easy! I've gone to help out but I'm not very good at it. My mother knows what to do for him. I had a migraine last night and into today. I basically sat around yesterday and hung out on the couch. I tried sleeping it off but it didn't help. I couldn't eat since I also felt sick. I thought I was better today but I got a headache again. Some days, you just can't make any plans. I'm hoping one more night of sleep will really get rid of it. I'm working the end of the week and the beginning of next week too. I hope I'm better by then. I have to be!
Going back to the couch. Hoping I'll be better in the morning!
Your knitting is always so lovey! and I love that Blue. I'm very sorry about your dad and your headache. Hope you're better soon. :) -April
ReplyDeleteThank you, April! I'm resting on the couch and hopeful I'll finally get rid of it after a good night's sleep!
DeleteHope that tomorrow is a much better day. I hope that your Dad's case of shingles turns out to be one of the mild ones.
ReplyDeleteLove the scarves! Good thing you look good in ruffles! :-)
Thank you, Auntie Em! I think everyone looks good in ruffles!! I love them!!
DeleteLove seeing your knitting projects and the scarves are so pretty!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your dad, hopefully he'll recover soon. And I hope you'll have a good rest and fel much better tomorrow. Take care.
Thank you so much! I feel much better today. I slept well for a change. My dad is about the same.
DeleteI totally empathize with your migraines; I am prone to them, too. Dark room, in bed, try to find a comfy spot and sleep--that was my prescription. That and saltines seemed to help the tummy troubles. Hope you're feeling better soon...:-((...And your Dad and the shingles; my Mom had them--they really are uncomfortable/downright painful actually. Hang in, Julierose
ReplyDeleteThanks, Julierose. I finally slept better last night and feel more myself today. My dad is about the same. I'm hoping his medications make the shingles a bit milder for him. We'll see!
DeleteOh Rosemary Shingles are awful things to have. Hope your dad feels better soon and I hope you are too.

Thanks, Pauline! I'm much better today. I went to visit my dad and he looked okay. He's frustrated but not doing too badly.
DeleteI hope you are all better now and that your dad is feeling better too. I finished knitting one of those netted scarves last night. They are fun and quick! I used Red Heart's version. My young nieces will like them. They are variegated colors. I've already started another one. Your black one looks great and looks very dressy!
ReplyDeleteAren't these scarves so much fun?! I'm much better and my dad is doing much better than expected. Thanks for being so nice!
