I’ve spent the last 2 and a half hours doing something which turned out to be a bit more physically challenging than I thought it would be. I spent the last two hours weaving old climbing rope into something that resembles rope a bit less.
I started with this, donated by Eamon (thanks Eamon)
and worked my [...]
So. To the left of me, the broomstick lace scarf that hasn’t enough yarn to be a scarf but which is going to be beautiful and which I will wind up ordering another colour for at some stage. To the right of me, the ripple scarf which is beautiful but terribly slow work altogether.

I have decided to do this. Albeit, not in pink, in some kind of a cross between burgundy and purpule. Possibly blueberry yoghurt coloured, depending on your yoghurt.
