Knitting Dream Come Through - Wine Garter Stitch Scarf

My garter stitch scarf is completed, I weaved in the tails of yarn that were hanging on the sides where I added more yarn and at the beginning and ending of the scarf.  I wore my scarf for the first time today on my trip to Washington DC, and it felt good, nice and warm.  I can only say there will be more knitting projects in my future.

I started with building the stand for the barrel on a Sunday. I used concrete 12in x 12in stepping stone pavers and 4in x 8in pavers, I created a pattern and stack them, I did use pieces of slate to level the barrel. I kept the stand low so I did not need to make it permanent, I like that I can move it anytime I wish.


I dd not have enough pavers on …
