A crochet finish



I just finished my second item of crochet. It looks so much better than the first! Since the stitches look rather consistent, I'm donating it to our local service center for distribution to those less fortunate. Hopefully, whoever gets this will find that it keeps them warm and cozy. The picture looks like an edge randomnly gets larger. This is just because the scarf is doubled over on itself and I didn't line up the edges properly for the picture. I know something out of whack will keep you just as warm as something straight, but I did want it to look nice if I was giving it away.

On the home front, Grace and Gaby seem to be getting along. I even caught them sleeping up on the bed together this afternoon. Grace probably would have been happy to live her life in the closet, but I finally pulled her out and closed all the bedroom doors. This forced her to be out and social. I guess she decided that it wasn't too bad. I'm glad that this has been a smooth transition for everybody or I would have really kicked myself for doing it. She is even behaving well with the claws. I was really worried about this because I agreed that since she was older that I wouldn't have her declawed (they okayed laser declawing which is a bit more expensive). I bought some soft paws, but the size I got is a bit big for her. Hopefully, she'll grow into them soon.

great scarf...I've been doing a bit of crocheting and knitting myself lately (in addition to stitching of course)

Your scarf looks great, congrats on the finish, someone is going to love getting it. Glad that Grace is doing better, sounds like she may even have a snuggle buddy when Gaby wants some quiet time. Can't wait to meet her.
