Needleworkmonday- Thoughts of Butterflies-May 20,2019
When I saw this yarn, I had to buy it. So beautiful... So soft...
It reminded me so much of a friend I met through Geocaching. She is a wonderful gardener and, above and beyond that, she raises Monarch Butterflies! I have learned a TON from her about the life cycle of Monarchs and other butterflies over the last few years and highly recommend her book-
The Monarch: Saving our Most Loved Butterfly
By Kylee Baumle
I needed a break from the blanket I have been working on and with MisCon coming up this weekend, I also needed an easy to grab and go type project. A bulky merino scarf in basketweave seemed like a grand idea so I got everything together and started it just to be sure it would look amazing. It does.
Happy #needleworkmonday to everyone!
My crazy-busy-omgjustkillmenow season is kicking off at work and I feel like I am already a week behind where I need to be and am never going to get caught up. Taking 3 days off to volunteer at our local Sci-fi and Fantasy convention this weekend doesn't help but I always plan for MisCon, it is my last break before summer. BUT... On top of that... I now have been called in for jury duty next week. Which means that I may lose most of a day waiting to be dismissed.
So... what I am saying is... I look forward to reading all your posts and trying to comment but make no promises about posting more than short updates regularly again until sometime in October.

Hmmmm... I need to find a knitting emoji...
That wool looks gorgeous and great idea to have a grab and go project.
Take it easy this summer: it will get done one way and another.
Enjoy your convention!
Me fascino la comparación que haces entre los contraste de colores del hilo y la mariposa, de verdad que se parecen bastante
El hilo se parece mucho a las alas, estoy muy feliz de haberlo encontrado.
Thank you!
I understand you perfectly: the wool is amazing. I naturally would knit a sweater with it :-DDDD But if I am honest your decision is much more sensible. Soft wool should be at our delicate necks :-D And amazingly the colours are exactly like the Monarch butterfly. I remember a ravelry project with a crochet sweater with a big monarch butterfly, this would be perfect for your friend:

I have no idea what MisCon is and will research it later... I hope you get a bit of spare time for knitting and relaxing.
Check out www.miscon.org for an idea or two about the convention. Thanks for the Ravelry link- Wow!
wow! you really will be very busy for such a long time. I hope this doesn't overwork you too much. the blanket is already getting too big to carry with you; this is why the idea with a new scarf is wonderful. the book is very beautiful!
