Hot summer's day

It's not quite as hot as it has been, but still, it's the middle of summer, and it's pretty hot out. 


So I decided to sew in the ends -- approximately 9,043 of them -- on these two scrappy projects. 


They both were started as quick carry-along projects, to use up spare balls of yarn, keep me busy in a line-up or on a journey. The hat's been finished for some time now, and I just finished the scarf yesterday.


Both will go in the charity bag, not because I don't like them but because that was also the idea, when I started out. 

I often think I'll just whip up a bunch of hats for the Downtown Eastside Women's Centre or some such thing. And then it takes me months and months to finish a hat, instead of a week. 

We were on another Gulf Island last week and, of course, I started a scarf with some yarn I stumbled upon. Now that's another thing I have to finish up, but since it is only one ball of worsted, it should not take too long! Haha ha ha ah...

It'll be done any day now.
