ProseKnitic – of Words und Wolle

It was a day at sea – aka a knitting day.

But first – did I mention that one of the perks of the cabin is treats every night?

Every other day it is a few lovely treats – and the alternate days it seems to be hand made chocolate…… which along with the coffee maker (complete with bean grinding) in the cabin makes for a lovely relaxed afternoon.

I took a break from the shawl

and knocked off a quick scarf which Dani will take with her back to Chicago for Alex. Starting it late yesterday afternoon

(pic 1)
and finishing it and blocking it today.

At the end – it has a wide part for wrapping around the nose and almost 2 meters to wind around

the yarn is Schoppel two ply Zauberball (seconds) knit on 3.75 mm needles made up pattern as I went. The seconds might also explain why there was only the one bit of white in the entire ball.

Then I started a scarf for Dani given than I had a yarn along that included purple….

which was 50% done by the end of the day. It actually might not have been that close to done according to the pattern,

but she wants a scarf to go around the neck, not something to flop around on her shoulders.

Tomorrow we dock in Crete…..
