A Facebook friend requested a purple scarf, and I had this (Fantasy by hobbi) yarn left over from a shawl I made recently. Also, I‘d had to frog a nearly completed Boneyard shawl; and a garter stitch shawl was the perfect breather before attempting that shawl again.

Sly Stone, Funk-Rock Pioneer Who Led the Family Stone, Dies at 82 Sly Stone, the multitalented musician whose psychedelia-laced funk enraptured Woodstock Nation in the late '60s and early '70s, has died. He was 82.

On one hand, I’m surprised he lived this long. On the other hand: Dammit.

First WIP Wednesday in June. And like so many knitters, I am starting on my Christmas knitting. Not Christmas themed; but things I have promised friends for Christmas. This is the beginnings of a shawl.
