Here it is - my version of the new scarf touted to be the best thing since sliced bread. In all honesty, it's warm and practical. Rather than having reams of lengthy scarf hanging over one's shoulder this scarf takes care of the important part - the neck!
I've made it out of Plymouth Baby Alpaca Grande - SOOOO soft! Notice the buttons - made a trip to NYC for button shopping and lunch w hubby. Have several scarfs in the works - planning to make them the gift of the holiday season.
Crazy mixed up bed socks were completed for someone special - someone w cold feet. These are a plain tube sock - ribbed for 5 inches and then stockinette for 5 inches, before starting to decrease. The yarn was worsted weight - leftovers from some previous projects, but perfect for that special guy with definite ideas on color.
In design is an intarsia puppy paw print in gray on a blue winter hat. More about the recipient after the holidays - again a gift which I hope to keep a surprise.
JE's purple sweater is progressing nicely. Working on two fronts at the same time - up to the decrease point. Will then work the two sleeves at once to avoid "second sock (sleeve) syndrome".
Also making good progress on BDs blanket - this month's cable is a bit thought provoking for ONE row only. The rest is easy knitting, but make a mistake on that row necessitates the dreaded FROG.
If you think all I do is knit, the answer is NO - I occasionally leave the house to buy yarn!
TTFN, Deb
