I hope you've all been doing splendidly. The weather has been pretty amazing (but strange nonetheless) here in Vancouver! We've had a couple days of summer sun & it's not even summer yet. =)
It was so hot the other day, I was on a park bench with a friend trying to read some Shakespeare... and then the sun attacked me. I turned a mighty fire engine red on my arms and thighs - it was terrible. Been smothering myself in aloe as of late. Lesson learned. Don't forget the sunblock, my friends! Spare yourself the terrible burns.
Asides from the sunshine, I've finished up some knits. Here is a matching piece to the NF Claw-Cabled Scarf in Amethyst Heather:
For this project, I used the Cascade Magnum which is 100% Peruvian Highland Wool & my Addi 10mm circulars. It is just a simple pattern or kkp.
It knitted up super quick! I just had to re-do the beginning a few times to get the right measurements for the bottom of the hat. At first I tried casting on (CO) 42... but that was WAY too loose! Then came 39 & 36. 36 was the magic number for me.

I think it'll look very good on my client's mum with the matching scarf. Happy Monday!
