What's that spell? Green! That's the color of the leaves on the maple tree. It came to me in a flash last week that those leaves are going to be green until October or later. That would be one long, boring section of Maple Tree scarf, so I gathered up all the green yarns in my arsenal, and I plan to change out one green for another every week or so, slot them in and out to make it interesting.

The other day after my shower I realized that the soap sack I kept for myself when I handed them out at Christmas and that I've used at least 3 times a week since then, is all sagged out and still bleeding out color which looks disgusting as it collects on the ridge at the end of the bathtub and dries looking like diluted blood. Urk. So I dug out some dishcloth cotton and a one-size smaller hook and made myself a shorter and plainer one. I like it. I know it looks small but judging by the previous one, that'll change.
