Chevron Scarf is Finished!
October 29, 2007 
Here’s my Chevron Scarf pre-blocked:
Pattern: Chevron Scarf (from the book Last-Minute Knitted Gifts)
Started: Monday, August 27 2007
Finished: Saturday, October 27 2007
Yarn: Red Rocks Fiber Works
Colors: Artichoke & One Wild Night
Needles: Size 6US Circular (I’m finding that I like using circular needles, whether I need them or not!)
I love this pattern! It was very easy to memorize and a great portable project! 
The pattern called for 2 skeins of each color, but I only used 1 of each and it’s plenty long!! I think it ended up being about 72″.
Charlie is “overseeing” the scarf blocking.
Charlie just LOVES your yarn, Mary-Kay!!
After licking the yarn, Charlie tried to pull it closer to her. This is exactly why I knew blocking knitted items at my place would not be a good idea! But, not to worry. I closed the scarf in the bedroom and it stayed safe from harm. Of course, we had to watch Charlie when we did go into the bedroom for any reason…she’s very sneaky and determined when it come to yarn!

Knitting with Charlie
Last Friday I took Charlie to the vet for her dental cleaning. It’s a little hard to see in this picture, but they had to shave a small patch of hair on both front legs to give her the sedative (I guess they couldn’t get it on the first try and had to try the other leg). Luckily everything went fine at the vet, and now we just have to give Charlie antibiotics for a few more days. Doesn’t she look so proper with her legs crossed? Charlie’s my little princess
She likes sitting on my lap, so last night she kept me company while knitting my Chevron scarf. I’m almost done with it! 
I plan on stopping when I finish the 2 skeins (1 of each color) I’m using now. The pattern calls for 2 skeins of EACH color, but I think that would make the scarf too long for me.
Here’s how Kennedy spent the evening:
She really likes her beds. Yes, she has more than one. Sometimes, she’ll even get up from one bed, walk over to the other bed and go back to sleep! Crazy cat!
