Heart To Heart Beaded Scarf is finished.
I came out beautifully. This is for Grandma. I planned it asa holiday gift, but I may give it to her early. We will see each other at a wedding in October, and if she needs a little accessory, I will whip it out.
Now that the scarf project is finished I do not have anything big on the needles. Today's knitting consisted of Chair Booties. I invented Chair Booties a few years ago to help protect the wood floors from the constantly moving chairs. After many hours of dedicated service I find that most of them have holes, so the replacement begins. I can make 4 in the time it takes to watch a movie. As I do not watch a lot of movies, I am not sure how quickly I finish enough for four dining room and two living room chairs.
Saturday I met with my writer's group. While I considered myself slow, possibly stalled, they pronounced me blocked. I am working hard to remedy this issue. There has been a wee bit of progress, nothing to boast about.
Next up? Spinning. One failure, one success.
The scarf is very pretty!
Ah yes, chair booties. My friend did the same thing when they got wood floors. I haven't done chair booties, but I did make 12 pads for under my and my husband's tent cots so that the legs wouldn't rip the floor of the tent!
They pronounced you blocked, eh? Sounds like going to the doctor! I find my writing mojo ebbs and flows depending on the rest of my life. Of course, paid work must continue apace, but my long-term projects idle and then fire as they will. I have learned to live with it.

Pretty scarf - grandma will be pleased I'm sure. Chair booties might wear better if they were felted - just a thought. Hey, only you get to decide if you're blocked! Read Anne Lamott - it really helps (or it helped me anyway).
