I do wish to finish the multitude of projects I’ve started.

I began a Matilda scarf months ago and it’s been patiently simmering.
So at last I’ve completed it.

I was delighted to find this pattern, the more so because it eased a rough day.
It was a perfect discovery since my stash included some stray Lite Lopi, and
one skein of Kureyon. Annie was gracious enough to model it and Oliver was
content to fall asleep with it. I think this is a very nice pairing of yarns
and a great, simple pattern.

It’s too warm to wear the scarf just yet. The kitties, however, enjoy wool in any season. No sooner was Matilda off the needles than it became a preferred cat napping surface. This gave me a sure sign of its success.

In an instance of uncharacteristic boldness, I sent an email of
appreciation to the pattern writer.
