I am a plastic surgeon in Little Rock, AR. I used to "suture for a living", I continue "to live to sew". These days most of my sewing is piecing quilts. I love the patterns and interplay of the fabric color. I would like to explore writing about medical/surgical topics as well as sewing/quilting topics. I will do my best to make sure both are represented accurately as I share with both colleagues and the general public.

Silk-Yak Scarf -- WIP
I started knitting this scarf using left over yarn from other projects. The two yarns are Lotus (Trendsetter) Tibetan Cloud (the tan color yarn, 100% yak) and Blue Ridge Yarns Silk Shimmer Lace (the blue color, 100% silk). The pattern is my modification of Symmetry in Silk
by Eugen Beugler. I am pleased with the lovely drape and feel of the scarf. I had to order addition Silk Shimmer Lace yarn. I hope I don't have to do the same for the Tibetan Cloud. Here's how it's looking so far.
