Section about the "transform chape yarns into Million bucks scarf

Great mohair vintage scarf!! I love this one!!!!

Also men's scarf!!!!!

I saw list about "10 reasons to Knit a Scarf" by great knitter Stepanie Pearl-McPhee from the magazin!!!!

I was ageed with her saying..Number 9? I was laughing so loud!!! LET's A Rob a bank together!!HEHE

1. Eveybody needs one. If you live in a warm place, a scarf is an accessory: if you live in a cold place( like Canada), it's necessity-all that stands between you and certain death.(Okay, not certsin death. Fostbite maybe; chilliness for sure!)

2. A friend of mine likes to say that a winter scarf is "caulking." Wound rounf your neck it bridges the difficult gap a cost leaves at the top and keeps all your heat form escaping.

3. No matter how many coats you won, by the time January rools around, you'll be sick to death of all of them. Owning 20 scarves adds a little color to the endless winter and lets you pretend that you have s different looks.

4. You can skip the gauge swatch with a scarf and have it matter not at all. How could a scarf not fit? (Don't answer that. I'm sure I'll find out.)

5. Scarves are varied in technical difficulry. You can do one in a plain garther stitch, or make a delicate lace wonder. You could knit nothing but scarves your whole knitting career, never repeat yourself, and learn almost every knitting technique.

6. Scarves are easy, at least mostly easy. If you're a beginning knitter, you can get a faulous yarn and let it do all the work.

7. Just a s there's comfort food, there's comfort knitting and a nice plain scarf out of simple delicious wool, knit back and forth in naive,mindless rows, is good for those days when anything more complex would make you cry.

8. A scarf is aways a welcome gift. Even if the recipient lives in Hawaii, a scarf made of a wee slip of silk will be gratefully received

9. If say, you were going to rob a bank(not that you would, that would be wrong) a scarf could be a vital part of your disguise.

10. The scarf is the the gateway to the shawl. There are only so many scarves you can knit before you feel an urge in the shawl direction.

Ok...more yarn to make a scarf!! I guess this weeken is my scarf day!!! see ya....

New Project~~~ "SHAWL"

Hi~~ eveybody? Do youguys miss me? I didn't been post for a week....BECAUSE my class started last week and working full time here~Too Creaze here~~ Sorry about that.....I miss youguys alot..too~~~Iam writing this post right now Sunday mid-night.....And listening "Better Day" by Alfred James Band. I got a CD from "CD Baby"last Saturday... Iam soooo falling in this song..Listening over and over again!!!!Little bit of cello and cross over Atl-Rock together!! Listen HERE

"Better Day" by Alfred James Band

You always were my favorite color

You shine on me like no other love

You've got me falling down, breaking down at your feet

For you I leave my light on

By your grace, shine on, shine on

Your blue eyes carry me up and lift me to better days

I was floating through my life,until you found me

soft words like daydreams,

dripping in wine your tears unfold me.

whispering of my better days you lay me down.

We drank your father's wine

stumbled on your mama's porchand

when I look back now I use that time to carry me to better day

sand the freedom of your laugh that night

tickled to my soul's delight

I would give all myself to keep your spirit free

I was floating through my life,

until you found me

soft words like daydreams, dripping in wine your

tears unfold me.

whispering of my better days you lay me down when

the world comes between us you lay me down.

SONG OF THE DAY #2

Today's song of the day is "Reinvent" by Chad Perrone (Listen)

I bought myself a one-way trip to nowhere, with the

hopes of finding the rest of myself there.(think I lost

it somewhere) Because I'm dizzy from danceing around

in the circles. "I take a deep breath. I'm holding it in.

Because I'm sure when I'll get to breathe air like

this again. T'll cut off my ears., I 'll burn out my eeyes.

I won't be afraid to reinvent my life," Tomorrow looks

a lot like today, And I know that time brings change

to every things. But we teeter on the edge of something

more. "So maybe I'm wrong and I should leave well

enough alone, But maybe it's right and today starts

the rest of my life."

Chad Perrone, He is Independent Boston based singer and songwriter, use be former member of "Averi" His music hit's emotions that resonat with the audiences that flock to vwenues to soak in the words. He captur a moment or an motion and etting that to melody. I think he is more songwriter then singer seeking the honesty and clarity in his music most beautiful!!!
