This poor scarf. I finished her ages ago during the roadtrip, but she never got her due on the blog because I never got around to blocking her so she’d look her best.

And now I’m doing her the disservice of displaying these crummy pictures that don’t show her colors at all. Poor leaf lace scarf, she looks like warmed-over cat throw-up. In reality this yarn is lovely shades of soft pinky-beige and lavender, like this:

I will find a way to capture these colors in the scarf, I will. But Mr. Garter has scampered off to Texas and he took the camera with him. He left me the little Powershot S110, but somehow I’m doubting it’s up to the task. He’s not back for a week, so we’ll have to have some dull photo-less posts…although I’ve got one or two things up my sleeve that I prepared in advance. Anyway, I hearby promise a better photo shoot for Lady Leaf Lace.

Yesterday I started making my stash a temporary home that isn’t in the garage. I don’t want to unpack everything yet because I hope it will be moving over to my aunt’s house in a couple of months. Yes, we’ve decided to try to go for it, if we can work out a mortgage that isn’t too crippling. But I did go digging through my yarn boxes and started working up a little sump’n sump’n for Baby Sassy. If all goes well and I don’t ruin it when I try to crochet some edging, I’ll post the pattern here. Stay tuned! Now I’m off to open the last box and see if I can’t find poor neglected Rosalind.
