I hope your Holidays have been as nice as ours have been.
Our days have gone like this:
Eat, Play, Read, Eat, Knit, Watch, Eat
And I have one thing to say. Bread pudding is from heaven.
I did make it out to The Wool Cabin (Hi Allison!) with my girls and my Mom to pick up some yarn to make scarves.
I’m knitting a scarf that flutes and twists very prettily, but couldn’t be easier to make. It’s a good thing too, since my knitting skills are rusty at best. I just don’t pick up my needles often enough to be a good knitter.
We went to the Wool Cabin in the late afternoon and the very next morning at 8:30 am met Nan and Pops (my Mom and Dad) for breakfast. In the time it had taken me to wind my skein of yarn and knit maybe three inches of scarf….
… my Mom had crocheted this darling scarf for Lily and was well on her way to making a second scarf for Emma.
Seriously that’s coconuts.
The pattern she is crocheting is a free pattern from JoAnn’s found here.
This might be the last straw for me to finally get off my duff and learn to crochet.
I hope the rest of this week is more of the same.
Doing a lot of nothing is just exactly what I needed.
Ooooo I love that scarf! Dad freaking gum it’s cute.
Beautiful colors!
Thats exactly what the Christmas break stands for, you do nothing, its my favourite time of year :)I love the scarf pattern.
Learn to Crochet! I love it. I knit as well and knit quite well, but I’m a big girl and to cover my geography or to make something that doesn’t take forever, I crochet. Just love it. It’s so easy too. Make it your resolution.
Just finished using my own fairly rusty knitting skills as well for a scarf :) and I have to say crocheting is so much easier!! You only have to keep up with one stitch at a time and it is much faster. So much fun to use a big hook and super bulky yarn (like what they have at Walmart). Do it!
