Fabric & Yarn--Materialistic Loves & A Scarf Embellishment

I discovered a new fabric today.

(50% off with code FARMYARD, today only)

Home To Roost

I had my own lamb ("L'Ami") when I was young,

grew up on a farm, have chickens now, love owls...

This fat quarter bundle is perfect for me.

(yes, you may yell at me for not sticking to the "make it with what I have" rule)

I also snatched up some yarn this morning

while out on a coffee run. 

(I have a secret dream to run a coffee shop that opens to a knitting &

crafting room on one side for everyone to just hang, or maybe even

take classes.  C'mon, how fun would THAT be? 

As Howard Schulz puts it, we all need a "third place"!)

I have two, hopefully three, scarves to make.
Oh, and my first "knitting in the round" class

is tomorrow. I'm a little crazy doing this at such

a busy time but I'm making a gift (hat) in the class

 so I see it as some smart multi-tasking. 

One other random thing...

Excuse the poor lighting in this pic but here

is how I made that very simple scarf a little more

special.  I don't know what else to do with bucle

other than just make a plain K-stitch scarf? 

This was my first try at rolled flowers

but by the third one, I think I got it figured out.

 What do you think? 

 My mom and DH gave it two thumbs up, and they

are both  what I consider to be good, honest critics.

I'm off to see what knitting I can accomplish with

the rest of this day.  Lucky me! 

I get to stay home ALL DAY!

Happy holiday creating!
