It’s the first Wednesday of the new year, and I decided to introduce structure to my posting schedule!
Back in November I started a fingering weight scarf. Short Shawl?? Anyway, after 6 weeks I finished the body. I spent HOURS trying to find the RIGHT border. Today I found “the one”, cast-on, and am 3 repeats in. Only 35 or so more to go. I opted for a stash yarn. Ella Rae Rustic Lace (I that’s the name) is 2-ply wool silk blend. It’s very grippy and is already beautiful without blocking. The picture color is inaccurate: it’s cream not pale yellow.
We also go a new cat! We named her Stella, and she’s still getting acquainted.

The 3rd blogger I follow with a new cat! Stella looks to have beautiful colouring. When I was a kid we had a long haired tortoiseshell cat. Hope she settles in well and doesn’t chew yarn 🤞🏻

She chased my yarn down last night when it rolled away, but didn’t instigate messing with it. She is also my first girl cat, and she is definitely a different experience!

Welcome to Stella! Your border looks lovely. I just finished a knitted-on border that drove me bonkers, but that might be because I had to repeat it 104 times!

I have 382 stitches on the border… it is rather time consuming, but stunning. I don’t have quite 104 repeats 😉
