Don't know why it couldn't happen along the border as they were saying since some of the surrounding countries were getting snow. The desert is always sooooo much colder than the city. I love the scarf. You know I like simple. And the combination of cream and white is pretty together. Hope you had a good weekend.Tammy@T's Daily Treasureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01474928708908027789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787570018101441310.post-5489048459363099832016-01-30T14:13:05.011-05:002016-01-30T14:13:05.011-05:00I've just caught up with all your recent posts...I've just caught up with all your recent posts.

I love your scarf and you are right simple is best and so satisfying, I can't wear wool around my neck or anywhere else, I even have to wear a pair of thin cotton socks inside my knitted ones which makes them incredibly warm and comfy. I'm glad your two boys are on the mend, have a restful weekend. :) xxlindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00139295265567390855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787570018101441310.post-62937387113544977412016-01-30T00:31:04.737-05:002016-01-30T00:31:04.737-05:00Yarn fumes got me today, too!

Sometimes we tend to forget what a simple,calming pleasure it is to just zone out and knit plain,row after row of relaxation.<br /><br />I always enjoy the gifts you make for all of Buddies "helpers" and thought you might like to take a look at a blog called "Crafternoon Treats" the crochet tote bags are just beautiful and look so easy to make, some are just giant granny squares, good for using odd balls of yarn too.<br /><br />Enjoy your chilled out weekend, hope you are able to recharge your batteries after such a tiring week.MargaretPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12990336317308988689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787570018101441310.post-34057904380982039322016-01-29T15:19:29.738-05:002016-01-29T15:19:29.738-05:00Pretty scarf, simple and classic.

Perfect neutral color.<br /><br />I don't do any sort of needlework but I know what it feels like to walk into a cooking shop or bookstore, a garden center or antique store and lose all sense of control! I know you will put your new yarn to good use.<br /><br />And you need to definitely rest up--those are loooooong hours! Makes me feel guilty for sitting around reading during our cold spell. I'm glad you read the book I'm recommending. It's good but the beginning, albeit comical, is not moving as fast as I thought it would. Still, she's a wonderful author and so many comments were a thumbs up!! I'll definitely keep at it.

I took a walk to get our mail at the mailbox which is about a block away. Chloe went with me and I had my umbrella and it was a very pleasant little walk. It's warmed up to about 38° today and it was actually nice to be outside. I hope you have the nice relaxing simple weekend that you want this weekend Meredith.
