The Chevron scarf is OTN!

At last. I’m enjoying this so far (probably one of the rare few – still giggle inwardly when I think of the Lime and Violet podcast where Lime said she was knitting the Chevron scarf and Violet replied “Oh, I’m sorry”).

Party weekend

OK, before you read on, I have to warn you, this is an (almost) yarn-free post – other than to say I’ve spent the evening skeining and skeining with a bit more skeining.
