After what felt like a warp speed visit to Texas, I’m back at home. My mom loved her birthday scarf! It looks great on her, and she wore it a couple of times while I was there.
Seeing how easy it was to wear and tie differently for different looks made me even more sure I want to knit another one of these.
First, though, I’m going to be knitting my mom a pair of Cupcake Mitletts. I was finishing up my pair on the trip, and she liked them, so we stopped by the local yarn shop, and she picked out some yarn for a pair for her.
Here’s a picture of mine, fresh off the needles. The yarn we got for Mom’s is a pretty, burnt orange color, similar to the color of her scarf.
Yesterday was sort of a disaster travel-wise. Between late flights and missed connections, I didn’t get in until nearly 3:00 am. That’s made today a challenge in terms of productivity. Other than a bit of paper grading, all I’ve managed to accomplish is a batch of cookies for Fiber Guild tomorrow and a little bit of knitting on my Scrap Yarn Advent Calendar Socks.
I’m way behind! Oh, well . . . hopefully, I’ll have time to catch up next week.
Look what else happened today. Snow! The first of the year.
Your snow was more tenacious than ours… it melted before it hit the ground, but it was fun to see for the 10 minutes it lasted. Your Cupcake Mitletts are cute – and Mom’s scarf turned out really great.
Thank you, my friend. 🙂
