Over Christmas when we were visiting my friend Helen who is also knitter extraordinaire, can you believe, she gave me one of these
little gems.
Of course it was easy for her to knit, but me? I had to do it
twice to get the darn thing right.
The yarn is called Frill Seeker is wide as you can see and one adds nine stitches and the above photo is the result.
I didn't pick up enough of the
yarn, and when I shook it to
make the frills, it unraveled!
Oh yeah, what else would one expect
from my first attempt!I am loving the colours for sure.
This photo of my knitting place is from our balcony with a wee Mary swimming in the pool getting her morning exercise which she she has been doing every day.
Me? I'm walking on the beautiful beach, my sweetie is walking 5 km each day. Wonderful, wonderful, and he is loving the walking even if he has pain in his hip. We should be in great shape for cottage time.
The weather has been extraordinarily warm for this time of year, in the mid 70s and so sunny too that even the locals are wearing shorts.
Not too far from our villas is a bar, a biker bar to tell you. Anyway one morning Mary (friend in residence) needed change and since this bar only closes for an hour a day, she walked over got quarters for laundry. Coming out of the crowded bar, she noted a Harley Davidson with rider parking. Now Mary is a nurse, and she notes that this guy has all kinds of coloured tubing wound around the seat of the bike, and looking to the rear of said bike is an oxygen tank with the mask. Only if Florida folks, only in Florida.

Looks like a beautiful perch! We Floridians don't get into the pool until July or August. Brrrr.
You do have a beautiful view. Enjoy the beach. I haven't walked along one in ages. Bare feet and beaches, one of life's pleasures.
Your life sounds sooooooo relaxing and fun....I so love the beach!
So relaxing and what cool yarn. Enjoy the knitting.
Those frilly scarves / boas were doing the rounds of the knitters here too. Pretty aren't they? Pity it isn't cold enough for them here.
Cheers
Now that's a nice view, isn't it? Enjoy your knitting, you will get the hang of that yarn! Love the Harley story.....can't you just see it.....
I'm quite envious of your gorgeous vista Nanci.It must be wonderful to wake up to that every morning!
Im Ok with knitting squares but anything beyond that floors me so your scarf looks wonderful to me. At least you persevered !
Your scarf/boas is gorgeous. I'm not a knitter, but that looks hard. Glad that you are enjoying a change of pace with the knitting.
Love the boa! And the ocean....how sweet is that??
Love the knitting and the biker story. That's awesome. They would probably do that in Texas too, but I haven't seen it yet.
Take care,
Susan in Texas
Hi,
The scarf looks fabulous as does the view. What a wonderful find your pink abode is - lucky you! Wiarton Willie forecasts an early spring - yippee.
Hugs to all.
Helen (your P.T.)
