flower scarf

We're gearing up to have the windows and siding replaced on our house--all at once! There's a contractor coming on Saturday to get an idea of what we want and start to work up a quote. In anticipation of this, we've been cleaning/reorganizing/just plain moving things around. Tonight we shifted a bunch of stuff in the dining room/living room area. It looks much nicer in here already, but to a certain extent it's a losing battle. When you're only living in half a house, it's insanely hard to keep clutter at bay. Especially when so many of our things (notably: yarn and all the rest of my knitting/sewing/crafting supplies, plus books and other assorted items) have no home.

I should probably go around and take lots of detail shots of the house before the work gets started, but for now here's one from last summer just after the roof was finished:



I'm excited--the house is going to look so different after this project is done!

PS I now have ten little hexagon flowers. I weighed one and it looks like there might be enough yarn for 25 of them in this one skein! I'd anticipated making maybe 15 (they're approximately 4" across blocked, so that'd make the scarf--without the edging--about 5' long), but maybe I'll make it 20 or so...we'll see.
