Hi everyone!
Here is a new pattern and a bit of an adventure for August!
I just created this lovely pink scarf pattern which is dedicated to my dear friend Muriel. She is a hard working woman who is sweet and friendly and compassionate. She loves her family very much.
This scarf pattern is fun to knit. The color was chosen by Muriel and I designed it with a diamond design, as you will be able to see by the pictures below. This will be the second pattern that will eventually be featured in an eBook, as a collection of scarves designed with a friend in mind!
You can purchase this pattern to knit through Etsy, Craftsy or Ravelry--your choice. The price is the same in any case. Here are links to my pattern stores

I have really enjoyed this August here in Maine! I expected hot and humid weather to last for days, but instead we got some cool crisp days--almost fall like! I think August will end with it being humid again, but too soon it will stay cool!
The other day my husband and I went to the dump and across from there is a picnic area. Now I have lived around these parts for nearly 25 years and not once have we stopped there to look around. For once I decided to stop and take pictures and explore! I followed a lovely path out to a knoll where there was a picnic table and a large stone fireplace. Under the trees was so pleasant and charming. The picnic area is situated right beside a pond. Here are some pictures which I thought came out pretty! It smelled so nice under the pines! I want to go back in the fall and have a picnic there with my hubby! Anyone want to go for a picnic with me?
