Notes

I asked my mom which colors she’d like for Christmas gifts, thinking I’d get to play with bright colors I don’t normally wear (her favorite color is yellow, for instance). She said she wanted something neutral--creams, tans, beige, or something. I was afraid that would come across as a fishing net in a lace weight, but the color I chose, Kitten, is a very pretty color. (Could have been called Whole Wheat or California Sand.) If she doesn’t want the scarf at the end of all this, I’ll keep it.

I started this one off the way I’m doing all of them now--with a row of single crochets after the foundation chain. Still putting a stitch marker into the 4th link on the turning chain for feather/fan rows.

10 repeats / 20 rows

10-05-2020

42 rows / 21 repeats

10-06-2020

54 rows / 27 repeats

10-07-2020

70 rows / 35 repeats

10-11-2020

Had to interrupt the crocheting of this Kitten scarf with ACTUAL kittens! We adopted two brother kittens, 9 weeks old, both black with silvery ghost stripes. Total loves.

Up to 39 repeats now, 78 rows.

10-17-2020

Now ~40 inches long, with 42 repeats (84 rows). Besides our new kittens, I’ve also been distracted by my Whiskey Trellis scarf (great to have some success knitting).

10-18-2020

44 repeats/ 88 rows. My once-pristine yarn cake is looking very deflated, but my scale broke, so I don’t know how much is left.

10-19-2020

45 repeats

10-24-2020

46 repeats, 92 rows, 80 of 120 grams used

10-26-2020

50 repeats / 100 rows. Skein is a flat and flabby ghost of its former self, but still lots left.

11-06-2020

Been otherwise occupied, knitting, writing for National Novel Writing Month, and compulsively seeking election news (and hiding from such at times). Managed to finish six rows today. I’m now up to 53 repeats / 106 rows. Looks like I’ll get about 66 repeats from this skein.

11-08-2020

55 repeats / 110 rows. I should be doing NaNoWriMo, but I’m mentally exhausted from the last week.

11-11-2020

57 repeats / 114 rows. Still procrastinating on NaNoWriMo.

11-12-2020

60 repeats

11-22-2020

62 repeats / 124 rows. I’ve been busy with NaNoWriMo this month, along with knitting my Whiskey Trellis wrap and learning to ladder back and fix its mistakes.

11-23-2020

63 repeats

12-01-2020

I finished crocheting it! Now all the remains is the soak and the blocking.

Finished count was 67 repeats / 134 rows.

I have a tiny bit of yarn left, but not enough to do another repeat, maybe not even enough for another row.
