Who lives long sees much : The diary of my life in Bulgaria
Sorry to have worried you......I was very involved with a difficult knitting pattern (difficult for a very a very inexperienced knitter like me, at least). I have been neglecting everything & everyone (exc, ept the animals. I will clear out my emails too.
The scarf is finished now. It has a knitted lace edging, of leaves. You can see it here on Ravelry, knitted by other people. This is a free pattern & I made it in a lovely hand-dyed blue silk & merino wool yarn. I still have to block mine.
I will be back on the forum tomorrow. Bye for now. &

Good to see you're ok, Nadine. Your Ravelry link doesn't work, by the way.
Try this instead.........

Hope it works.

Thanks Sue
It does require quite a bit of concentration & in my case a few sessions of unraveling & re-knitting. I am still a beginner at all this. I think in the past I hadn't the patience or the time to get a half-decent result but now I have. I also love all the lovely hand-dyed yarns that are available nowadays, mind you they are expensive, but that makes me even more determined to finish the projects
I think I will try something like a lacy shawl next, this will be a real challenge but I evolved a system that worked (eventually !!!) for me to keep track of where I was in the pattern.
