I’m a little late reporting this (considering I cast it on on the 2nd), but Christmas knitting part three is the Mezquita Shawl by Roxanne Yuen. I’m using SweetGeorgia’s Cashsilk Lace in the botanical colorway, and size 8 needles. This yarn is really pleasant to work with. The pattern repeat is simple, but it’s over […]

Pattern: Evermore Scarf by Nicole WhittisYarn: Classic Elite Renaissance in a red colorwayNeedles: Size 9 Circs My Evermore scarf is done – it’s the scarf I’ll be sending to the Red Scarf Project this year. The pattern is super easy. There are cables, but you can do them without a cable needle with no problems.

Pattern: Three Sisters Scarf #2 by Monika SteinbauerYarn: Quince and Co. Tern in the Wampum colorwayNeedles: Size 5 Circs So back in June, I finished this scarf for my sister’s Christmas present, and promptly hid it away, since she was visiting and staying with me.

In further Christmas knitting news, I\’ve cast on a scarf for my mother. This is the Pearl-Barred Scallop scarf by Cheri Borden, using my Sanguine Gryphon Bugga in the Cowkiller colorway.

I’m taking a break from Christmas knitting (ha!) for another type of gift knitting. I’ve cast on the Lilah shawl by Heather Storta from the Spring/Summer 2011 Knitty. It’s technically angel wings, but my friend is about to get her ornithology degree, so it’s going to be bird wings for her, as a graduation/birthday present.

I totally can’t believe I’m saying this, but my first Christmas gift is done. It does need blocking, but since the recipient will be coming in from CA this weekend, and staying in the very room where I usually leave these things until they can be blocked, it’s instead going into hiding at least until

Pattern: Kernel Scarf by Bonnie Sennott from Knitty Fall 2009Yarn: String Theory Caper Sock in the Labradorite colorwayNeedles: Size 4 Circs This post is well overdue, considering I finished this scarf in April. It’s been sitting on my desk, waiting to be blocked, and since it isn’t exactly scarf wearing weather, it hasn’t been high

In a mood so proactive that I’m still not sure I actually did it, I’ve started my Christmas knitting. I’ve decided to do scarves for my sister and mother this year. So, I’ve cast on the Three Sisters Scarf #2 by Monika Steinbauer, using Quince & Co’s Tern yarn in the Wampum colorway. (This is
