The decorating has taken a brief rest, only for the living room floor to now look like this:

which is the fallout from the three Lego sets that smallest person was given for his birthday from various people and he is now putting together. Lego Indiana Jones is apparently assisting the Lego Agents to fight some unnamed Bad Person.
In the meantime, I’m progressing nicely with the Beth scarf I’m knitting for my Grandma’s Christmas present. The pattern is only four rows and it’s easy to get into the rhythm of it and knit a few inches of an evening. For a change of pace, I unpicked the provisional cast on and knitted the first border. The scarf is looking really pretty now, and it’s an enjoyable knit.

And the yarn is really lovely. It’s not shedding, spit-splices easily and just goes on and on and on..! The lightness of the angora means that you get a lot of metres for your money. I might actually not finish the second ball right up. My Grandma is 5′1″ tall and I don’t think she needs a scarf that hangs around her knees!

It’s lovely! Better than mine
Your grandma is very lucky.
There was no Indiana Jones Lego when I was a small person
we had to make do with generic people. Maybe that’s why I stopped playing with lego when I grew up?

It’s beautiful. Scarves stretch anyway, so yes, I’d stop before it gets long enough to reach her knees… It’ll grow. : )

i really like that lace pattern you’re using, it looks kind of old-fashioned/antiquey and elegant.
