Ripple scarf at last!


My ripple scarf modelled by  a friend........no it's me!! I had always hoped every-one would see me as a very young grandmother, blonde. now you will see the white hair and know the truth!!
Kate gave me the lovely wool from the Sublime range and I just love the colour. I used the ripple pattern from the amazing Lucy at Attic24 to get me started and then having completed a few rows then followed around the end of the rows as well to 'finish' it off and make it a little bit longer.
I took our refugees to Melbourne on Monday and said a sad good-bye yesterday. It has been such a special time for us getting to know mother and baby really well in amongst their angst of aftershocks still occurring. By now they will be reunited with our son who has been desperately missing them and our house is quiet, a mixed blessing!!

  4. Hi Aubrey love the scarf, it's nice to make something you can wear now and again isn't it. I am settling into grandmotherhood, I'm thinking of buying some comfortable clothes, see it's a slippery slope!!!glad to hear your family is recovering from separations and building work, what gets me is the way things just come out of the blue and with a large family like you it's on a weekly basis sometimes!enjoy the peace and quiet while it lasts! jennyx

  5. Thankyou for all your comments, I do love to hear from you and all the good wishes I have been receiving are lovely. Large families do always have something happening, lots of it good and I wouldn't swap my family for anything! Love to all, Aubrey
