Well, here is my latest weaving project. I made it extra long so I could do the "fold in half and loop though the fold" around the neck kind of scarf. Since I rarely ever wear scarves, I will rarely ever wear this. But who knows? Maybe we'll have a freak down below 0 F cold spell for a couple weeks and I'll need a scarf to wear when I go out to buy frozen veggies at the market, or just walk to the trolleybus stop? You never know! Or maybe we'll move back to Alaska and I can wear it between the house and the car. Stranger things have happened in my life.

As you can see, this is not quite finished. I need to figure out what I'm going to do with the fringe. It is "hemmed" already - just need to braid the fringe, or knot it, or something. It won't stay that long. That is for certain. Knowing me, I'd get it caught in the trolleybus door and get dragged down the street. Things like that seem to happen to me. Maybe not quite that drastic - but I had my long skirt half pulled down and off once that way, getting off the trolleybus. Fortunately, it finally slipped through the rest of the door. It was not exactly the best moment in my life. hahahahaha.
I think I'll work on my embroidery project for awhile and let the creative juices stew awhile over what the next scarf is going to be. (Shorter, that is for certain.)
I wish I had a dryer here - this scarf needs softened up. Hmmmm - !!! Alys has a dryer! Maybe I can ask her if she will dry it for me if I wash it and get it ready. That way it will soften up a bit and be a bit more comfy around the neck and face.
Alys has a dryer - she bought it in Odessa. Can you imagine!!?? And I know a couple families that have dishwashers now, too, bought here in Ukraine. Wow. I'd love either one - but there is no place to put it in our flat - except maybe the dryer could go in the bedroom and be vented out that window. There is room there, kind of, if I rearranged several things it could happen. But do I want to spend the money? That is the question.
