After working on those little lace repeats for a couple of months, I finally finished my scroll lace scarf last weekend. The back and forth knitting once you finish the lace works up really quickly.
I love this pattern, and love the Orange Flower Yarn that I used (MCN light sport in Copper.) I loved laughing while Jonny tried to help me arrange the scarf to cover my protruding belly button while he took these photos, saying “You don’t want anyone asking about your third nipple.” No, of course not. (Thanks, Jonny!)
As a matter of fact, I did have an elderly librarian recently approach me pointing to my belly button, saying, “They never tell you that’s going to happen…” I just laughed and said, “No they don’t!” not being the type to discuss things like that with strangers typically and finding it all kind of hilarious.
I am in LOVE with that scarf, and aren’t you just positively gorgeous!!! I think I have some yarn that would knit that up beautifully, so I’m going to give it a try. Thanks!
That scarf looks gorgeous on your beautiful pregnant belly!
My friend Laura used to joke that the belly button was like those things that pop out to tell you when a turkey’s done cooking. My belly button has never popped out, though. I have a really deep innie—my husband has always joked that it’s bottomless. 😉
You look so beautiful! Also for the second time today, I’m thinking I need some blocking boards.
Oh my gosh…too funny! I love the scarf – I’m still such a knitting newbie; all I have managed is a couple of dishcloths and an easy cowl. This is definitely something to work for 🙂 I absolutely love the pictures of you and your basketball! (that’s what people always said to me) God bless 🙂
The scarf – pattern and color – is so beautiful! I want to knit one now! And you look so beautiful right now too – I am excited about your new baby!
Ack – I always felt so awkward about the belly button thing! I actually wear a lot of empire waists and long loose tunics in my pregnancies because they are more comfortable and because I always feel weird about my belly button! haha!
You are a beautiful pregnant woman. Your scarf is delightful – the color and the pattern. Such a fun post!
Love the scarf and the pictures. You look lovely. I have always found that people who wouldn’t make eye contact with you normally, will talk to you and be friendly to you when your pregnant or holding a small baby. It’s really kind of neat. Good luck.
Ginny,
It’s beautiful. The name October Scarf suits it well. I love it with the baby belly especially.
And this post cracked me up, hilarious. 🙂
Love,
Taryn
Brilliant!! And beautiful scarf. Bump looks very low. Not long now. All the best.
What a lovely scarf (and pregnant momma)! The combination of pattern and color way is simply gorgeous! And too funny about the belly button; my husband calls mine “the turkey timer”: it pops when things are done baking. 🙂
I just love the scarf!!…love the color!!
You look beautiful….can’t wait to see that little one in your tummy
there with you and your family!…how exciting!
praying for you, Corinne
LOVE that scarf!!! You look adorable!!!!
You are so beautiful! Love that scarf on you. Johnny is too funny 🙂 I always love the third nipple look on pregnant women-I’m actually worried it won’t happen to me because my innie is so deep!! Not that you wanted to know that about me…..
I had to laugh at the first picture because I’m assuming those foam puzzle piece things are for knitting? A woman comes into the yoga studio and uses them under her mat. I always wondered what they were normally used for!
Gorgeous…you and the scarf! My oldest daughter had an ” outie” while pregnant and but band aids over it to hide the “nipple”. Silly!
Lovely scarf and lovely YOU!
You look absolutely lovely! The scarf is the ideal color for you and really coordinates with your denims- I love it for you! Also, you are glowing with health and that is wonderful to see. You and baby are in my prayers for a safe and blessed birth!
You look so amazing! Can’t wait to “meet” this little one soon! 🙂
Gorgeous scarf! You look fantastic! 🙂
Your lovely baby belly shows off the drape of your shawl (and the gorgeous yarn) beautifully. Thank you for sharing Jonny’s comment with us–a little chuckle before your son arrives.
And, dear lady, you are ALL baby. You look fantastic!
I love your scarf, and the colour of it.
You are so cute! And I love the picture with your ring & bracelet in it. So beautiful!
so, i have been reading here for a few years but due to my own crazy (and sleepless) week forgot you were way pregnant. i was so entranced by your scarf’s beauty that i did a double-take when i saw your tummy and remembered that you are having another sweet baby. oh, you are so pretty and your little belly button is, too!
A friend came up to me recently and said, “Looks like the turkey’s all done!” Ahhhh…the protruding belly button!
Beauitful scarf!! I love the grey and orange together. So inspired by your mothering and knitting! And the bump is lovely! Congrats on a baby boy, I’m expecting my second child in march, and it’s a boy as well. God Bless!
Hi! So I’ll admit – I don’t knit. I don’t homeschool. And I only have one (wonderful!) child. Yet I love coming here nonetheless!!
I had to post my first ever comment just to say – You are Beautiful!!!!!!!
You are a knitting machine! I love the copper.
Wait a sec. Your belly button can pop out?!
Okay, mine didn’t. And I know it can happen. I always thought it was expected, though. Also, the scarf/shawl is adorable and I do need to make another one…perhaps this will be it. Or not. We’ll see 🙂
The scarf is gorgeous (love that color!) and you look lovely!
There are many things ‘they’ don’t tell you about pregnancy and childbirth…. 🙂
Beautiful, and so perfect for fall!
The scarf is beautiful. You look wonderful too. Not much longer now right?
What a beautiful scarf, and a beautiful belly too. 🙂
I haven’t checked in recently and was surprised at the belly. I mean, I knew you were pregnant, but it’s really coming along!
Your scarf is very pretty and congratulations on your soon-to-be baby! 🙂 I just found your blog yesterday and as a new knitter, I am loving it. My latest project is a hat–my first attempt at a hat, so we shall see. Have a great day! 🙂
Beautiful scarf. It’s nice to make something for yourself.
The scarf is beautiful! Great color for you. I just love the tummy shots!
In all my pregnancies, my belly button has never popped out. It almost did with the last one, who was 11 pounds!
Ginny, you are absolutely glowing! And your lovely scarf suits you well. xxxxx
Love the scarf and you are so beautiful! So fresh and real.
The scarf is really beautiful, and so are you!
So cute! The scarf, the belly, and the story! 🙂
The scarf looks amazing and so detailed! I like how it goes with the earrings too!
It’s beautiful!
okay. I needed that laugh today. That was fun. Belly laughs always are. The scarf is BEAUTIFUL! I love it. LOVE IT. I wonder how hard it is to follow a lace pattern for a newbie? You look great!
Beautiful scarf. Love the color. Thank you for sharing.
That is hysterical! I have never had my belly button pop out like that. I’m 37 1/ weeks now and it is still “normal- looking.” 🙂 Your belly is adorable, as always, and the scarf is gorgeous!
beautiful scarf, the colour, drape… and you look lovely, the colour suits you very well! 🙂
When I was pregnant with one of my sons and that happened to me I couldn’t help thinking of those buttons they put in turkeys that pop out supposedly when the turkey is cooked. I remember saying (as I went overdue 10 days both times)…”this turkey is cooked!”. Beautiful scarf and beautiful pregnant belly, all the best to you.
Beautiful!
It looks so lovely, and so do you!
So funny about the belly button comment! Mine always stood out too. 🙂
That is just so hilarious!! .. And a third nipple could come in handy…! Those photos are very beautiful of you, you really are glowing: continued health and happiness x
