Thank heavens it's a holiday weekend here, because I needed today to recover. Seriously, I didn't get up until 11am.
The whole weekend was spent in a freezing school hall, with early mornings and late nights.
However, I have this to show for it.

Yes, I started and finished the scarf. Here's David modelling it at the dance comp.

He's happy with it, and was especially happy when I finished it, because it was freezing. Well, freezing by Sydney standards.
It was a great knit. It didn't take up much yarn (I have still have 30g of the Cascade 220 left), and was easy enough to knit without paying too much attention. You can't see it very well in the pic (I've folded the centre under) but the cables are only at the start and end of the scarf, with 2x2 rib in the centre.

Here it is at home this morning, unblocked, but done.

Now it's back to the Nundle sleeves.

Here are some more crappy phone pics of Em practising in the tea break.

Twinkie has a favourite spot in the yard. She like to sleep under the outdoor table. You can see in this pic that it's been raining, but it's nice and dry in her spot.

Well, we decided it was high time to put the furniture away until the weather improves again, but Twinkie has pretended not to notice.

I don't think she's going to be impressed when it rains again and the groove she's created with her butt fills with water!

Oh, and Ailsa (or Knitablulous, if you prefer), has been named as a finalist in the first challenge for The Amazing Lace for her hilarious introduction post.

A handsome scarf for a handsome man. Well done, Donna. :) Twinkie is a sweetheart. I hope she doesn't get rained on too much. If she does, please be sure to post a soggy Twinkie picture. *lol*

I love the scarf, and Twinkie is so cute. Maybe she thinks her fur is waterproof.

Great scarf! It didn't take you long at all.

That is a nice looking scarf, I may need to make one for my husband! Em looks like she is having fun practising and I hope that you were able to hide your bath fizzies for yourself! Poor Twinkie...I do hope she finds higher ground before it pours!
