Today I finished the ocean scarf. I will soak it carefully in conditioner and hope it comes out softer. If not, I will give it to someone I don't like.

I also packed up the baby sweater and will send it to Crissy sometime this week.

Now I've embarked upon a new adventure: fulling. That's the process of turning a knitted fabric into felt with the application of extreme water temperature changes, soap and friction. I'm going to try to knit a pair of mittens with the Kool-Aid yarn-- the least attractive one, that turned out to look like orange-and-lime sherbert (pretty, but not the prettiest)-- and full it. You knit it extra large and then full it until it shrinks to the right size. Could be a big mess. Time will tell.

I definitely don't want the sea scarf to full, so I have to make sure the water temperature doesn't change suddenly when I soak it.

Is anyone still reading? You poor, hard-up nerds, you. I'm sorry.
