I made this scarf in an attempt to welcome fall, but it is still no go. It did rain in San Francisco on Saturday for the first time since May, I believe. Saga was amazed and went out to walk around just saying,
agua,
agua, over and over. The scarf was a my
bathtime project. Often after work I just can't sit still, so while Saga is in the bath I crochet. The funny thing is I get tennis elbow from crocheting. Obviously, I have bad form. I need to experiment with different positions to see if it improves.
This weekend Saga and I went to visit my mom in the Central Valley. We went to a small fabric shop that carried many designer fabrics. It was great to see them in person. I bought the ones above. The first 3 were in a group
labeled 1940's prints. They were all on sale that made them even more attractive. I was also excited to find 100% cotton gingham. It was wonderful to be in a fabric store with my mom again. She is an amazing quilter, and I must of asked her a hundred questions. I actually keep a list that I go through when I see her. Just a great weekend overall...

What a beautiful scarf! I just finished one, just in time for .. summer! Least I'm ready for next year.
I love all that fabric you bought! I've been knitting a hat to welcome in fall...and I'm almost done!
Isn't your crochet beautiful? That scarf is just lovely. It sounds like you get about as much rain as we do here!
Someday, I will crochet...a little poem for you. I didn't know you were a valley girl! Now it all makes sense....:):):)
I love your scarf! I need to learn how to crochet so I can make something so pretty :-) Love that gingham too, great find!
