Pompa is a bit over 4 ft. now and still growing, more quickly now. Finally, the pattern feels more natural to me and I glance at the chart less and less frequently. It still amuses me to watch the zig zag pattern emerge. I'm loving it. My plan is to knit til I don't have enough yarn for another repeat. I like my scarves longer than the pattern calls for. It should be well over 60" when blocked. The Poppy colorway has brightened many rainy days. It isn't usually a color that I choose for myself. Must have been all the gray, or maybe that the poppies on the hill behind the barn were blooming so brightly in contrast that inspired me to choose it over my more usual subtle color choices.
Today's sun (and the forecast for another few) have popped a couple other bright spots.
Thanks to you that have emailed Vermont's governor. As much as I hate to think it, I believe it is really (the quality of) two lives that are in the balance. If you haven't read yesterday's post, please consider reading it and writing a short email on Peter and David's behalf.
