mio Here’s my update on the minty toothpaste baby blanket:
Almost finished! It just needs a few more rounds for the border.
I really wish I could get an accurate picture of the colour on this blanket. It’s something to see! I’ll try to take the finished picture outside and see if that helps.
I stopped at the store on the way home from work today and picked up some scissors that are not only awesomeness defined, but I think they’ll allow them on the plane in my carry-on, too.
“The children are right to laugh, these couldn’t cut butter.”
And the big news:
I finished something last night! I am now the proud owner of a double-thick short scarf. When I got home from work today I thought to myself, “What would be the best background for a totally black scarf picture? If only there was an abundance of whiteness that also represents the function of the item…” Stupid snow.
One finished project down, a few hundred left to go…

Your “Snow” link currently points to an article about pay cuts and job losses?
It points to a story about collisions due to snow on my computer… how odd…
I changed the link… just in case.
Don’t try getting the scissors on the airplane unless you’re prepared to lose them. Best bet may be to just leave them in the yarn bag with ohter materials. Come to think of it you may want to make sure you can take knitting needles with you too, at one time they were banned.
Further research shows the scissors are good to go!

My favourite part is how knitting needles and crochet hooks are listed under “penetrating objects”.
And I am prepared to lose the scissors. I’m still debating what my backup plan will be: read, or knit with pencils?
