Accessories were never a category of knits that caused me to reach for my needles. But lately, I seem to be addicted to them. With my new winter coat as yet undecorated, I couldn't resist this lovely Cascade Yarn. Called Nikki - just like our Nicki from knit group, if you don't count spelling. And since Nicki is the reason I have a new winter coat - heck - it was meant to be.
You see Nicki has a theory about winter coats. She thinks one should have several. Her theory - and I have decided to stick to it - is that when one leaves the house in the winter months, one rarely removes the coat. Grocery shopping, running errands, taking the dog for a walk. See what she means? Until Nicki enlightened me with her 'many coats theory' a few years back I was a one-winter-coat woman. No More. I am now a coat-a-year girl.
Using my favourite one row pattern from these
creative folks but tuning it on it's side, I knit it lengthwise.
220 yards made me about eight feet of a gorgeous, bright, winter-blahs-dashing scarf
- with just a few yards left to decorate the co-ordinating hat. Yep. There will be a hat. Another Felted Bucket Hat coming up. Addicted, I tell you. Addicted. Or maybe just avoiding those
goal- setting goals I set for myself.

Maybe your ideal goal to avoid goal setting goals.
