To tired to attempt decent writing

Ah, I've gotta get to bed. But first I must give myself a pat on the back for finishing the Fairway Fair Isle. This baby is washed, blocked and tasseled. And here it is-





Lovely, isn't it? Good thing I have absolutely no use for a golf club cover or I'd claim it for myself. I can't even thing of anything I could possibly use this for, besides maybe a really freaky long sleeved oven mitt. I just hope it fits the club. This is my first ever fair isle project and it was a little puckered before blocking, so I was astounded at how nice it came out after washing.


I gave my dh his partially completed mouse ears scarf on Sunday. The initial reaction was "What is it? Christmas Trees?" I'll forgive him...I think perhaps his colorblindness effects his illusion perception a little. He claims now that he can see the mouse ears perfectly well and that he loves it and wants to wear it with his Goofy sweatshirt, because it matches.





That's the sweatshirt right there in the middle of the second photo. Um, yeah. Poor guy. I wish the world had more colors and I marry a guy who can't even see all the ones we have. That's kinda sad. I'm also making a note to myself not to trust his opinion on any future dyeing projects...you see, even after 15 years together I tend to forget his disability and ask things like "how do these colors look together?"


Oh, I did get some Wool of the Andes that does coordinate with the Goofy sweatshirt. I'm debating whether to do another illusion scarf, attempt intarsia, or come up with something else in 2 colors with a Disney-esque motif. Gotta keep my color challenged sweetie in high theme park fashion for our trip next month. Just in case its cold, you know? Florida is unpredictable in January.


This will most likely be my last posting for the year... so if there really is anyone out there reading this Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, Merry Solstice, Happy Kwanzaa, Happy New Year, Happy last 11 days of the year. I wish you all the festivities, excitement and bounty of the season if you so choose to partake. I'm off to cross one more thing off my list of stuff to do....


I'm sure there will be plenty to post when I return from my holiday travels.
