Zara Progress
Published November 29, 2006 by CabledSheep
I’m making good progress on the Zara Empire Shell - but the neck ruffle is going slow because it’s about 400 stitches around, and I’m only about 2/3 done. Will it be finished for me to wear on Friday? Well, I think so. But just in case, I think I’ll do the side seams now, and make the tie that goes through the top of the ruffle to gather it together. If I’m still not quite finished with the ruffle, I can thread the tie through the unfinished loops of knitting, rather than through the eyelet border it should have when it’s done. Clever, huh? Well, in theory anyway.
This next photo is what I woke up to this morning. Sigh. I used to love having four “real” seasons, and the fact that our winters here were much milder and sunnier than in the East. But the older I get, the more cranky I get over the cold and the snow. No wonder people move South when they retire. Of course, if I can stay indoors and don’t have to go out and drive around in it, it’s not so bad.

It was a surprize to wake up to several inches of snow. It’s not so bad now as it is so beautiful and sunny! Good luck with Zara!
Zara is looking great!
It’s beautiful with snow….
It just dropped from 70 to 50 F here in 10 minutes!! We are getting a coldfront (Houston), brrrr,

I think you’re sooo lucky to have snow. I’ve only seen the snow once, when I was 7, we were on holidays at the Snowy Mountains(in Australia). It was very beautiful.
What a beautiful sweater! It has a great shape to it. (I also think your snow is a bit better than the gloom here in Connecticut! Especially if you don’t have to drive in it!) I came across your blog because the LYS that I work at is called Hither and Yarn so when I saw you pop up on goggle I just had to check you out! How did you come up with your blog name?
