That's right! I'm bringing FO friday back! At least for this week. And hopefully I'll have my clappy done for next friday. Also I think I may use FO to stand for Fiber Obsession and show off some yarn sometimes too.
These are some oldie buttons I made a while back for it. Feel free to snag. I'm on a button binge so I might make some more.
So. This I finished this a few weeks ago but I'm going to show it anyway.
It's a very very very long airy scarf. Like ten plus feet long. Knit using a nice little sportweight kid mohair new wool blend from Dale of Norway. Why yellow and why this yarn? Because it's for my mother-in-law who loves yellow and it's very hard to find a non-poopy colored yellow yarn that isn't for babies.
I think she'll like it. It's long enough to wrap it around twice and have it drapey in the front. That's how she wears her scarves.
In UFOlympic Clapotis news, I dropped the eighth stitch last night, the one with the longest drop in the corner. Halfway through ball four of six. I even watched some ice skating. I haven't really been watching the Olympics because it seemed like every time I turned it on they were showing that silly curling stuff which automatically makes me sleepy. I'd wish I could catch more snowboarding (is that done?). Bill the houseboy used to go up to Taos to snowboard. Strangely, I've made my best progress while watching Dancing with the Stars. No idea why.

Cuz Dancing with the Stars may be the most thrilling show ever!
Airy scarf is delicious!
And, scary news. Neal and his best friend, upon watching the curling, have decided to go to Norfolk, CT for a curling tournament. Yup. He's all mine!

I don't have an antenna or cable, so I'm not watching the Olympics. But I did make great progress watching old DVDs of the Tour de France. :)

That scarf is beatiful - it's almost lacy, it's so airy.
I like watching the snowboarders, too, though they don't really make me think of houseboy Bill. I wish they'd show more of the snowboarding. (You know, their pants are so low when they snowboard, I keep thinking they're going to fall off. Please don't tell me that's already happened, and I missed it!)
