It’s cool in Tacoma; actually, it’s honestly cold for July, scarcely topping 70. My mission at my LYS was to procure a single ball of sock yarn. I think the skein of Pace in Denim will complete two more pairs with what remains in my stash.
I scanned the shop while waiting for YSL Roxy to finish her phone call. The grey, cool day outside reminded me that I wanted to make a new scarf for winter. My eyes alighted on this La Gran pearl-grey mohair/wool/nylon blend. Roxy finished her call and I checked out, three times heavier than I’d planned; this is not unusual.
I designed my scarf while running other errands at Trader Joe’s and the library. It will have seed stitch end-trims, with the length in a 4 x 4 rib that will enable the yarn to speak for itself and me to others while knitting it. It will go with everything I have, and of course, most especially the Cat. Softness he takes for granted, and grey he supposes superior. I don’t know how else he would ever approve.

Lovely–soft and warm! (The scarf will be, too!)

Beautiful color, beautiful cat to match it. The yarn looks unbelievably soft.
How strange that you are having cool days in July. I start to sweat just thinking about a scarf.
Nice new template, by the way. Is the header pic yours?

Yes, one of my photos of La Conner’s daffodil fields.
June and July were cool; August is warmer but still in the 50s in the mornings. We’ve even had one day of Fall rains. It’s so nice!
