The scent of a woman

Picked up my Hanami, and Chuck observes, "You're working on your 'Oh Crap' again." I guess that's all I say out loud when it's in my hands. Hanami, in silk and toothpicks, is not a knitting while talking, watching TV or drinking wine kind of project.

I reach the end of the row and take in a big sigh, catching a whiff of the yarn. I remark it smells like silk and clean cruise ship cabin. Chuck takes in a breath of it and replies, "No, it smells like you and (Blogless) Marsha ."

"I don't think Marsha and I wear the same scent."

"Yes you do - yarn."

Out of the mouths of men...

For those fellow Oh Crap knitters, you probably observed the provisional cast on in blue. Taking some artistic license, I've elected to repeat Hanami's little ruffle on both ends. Beads, however small, seemed too heavy for the yarn.

Why aren't you wearing one of your magnificent handknitted shawls in the sunset pic? Marina would have fitted right at home on that cruise ;-) Maybe next one, eh?

I love it! The scent of yarn. That'd be a good blog name.

I have a pair of socks with a finicky pattern (well, finicky for me since I'm a pretty new knitter) and my husband refers to them as my 'oh sh*t socks.' Apparently I'm working on the rated R version of your 'Oh Crap' project.

Hey, I have a project with the same name! It must be a lace thing...

Eau de Yarn. I think I have some of that around here somewhere, too.

[Lorette]

Eau de Yarn! I think my husband would recognize that fragrance, too.

Eau de Yarn--my favorite scent!

This is my requested comment in the hopes of obtaining the patterns for the herringbone rib reversible scarf.
