Life, Knitting and the Pursuit of Roller Coasters

The Christmas knits are slowly coming off the needles. Last night I finished mom’s scarf gave it a quick soak and hung it to dry which was enough to uncurl it and open up the stitches a little bit. It’s gorgeous; I think she’s going to love it and it should look great with her purple winter coat.

Pattern: The same chevron scarf variation I used for mine this summer

Yarns: Colinette Jitterbug in Marble, Blue Moon Fiber Arts Socks that Rock Lightweight in Scottish Highlands

I ended it early enough that I have plenty of yarn leftover. I doubt I’ll have time before Christmas with the other projects I need to wrap up, but she’ll likely get a matching pair of gloves for her birthday next month.

Lots of photos, I had a fun little interlude between loads of laundry and cleaning tonight playing with the camera around the tree and my snowball candles centerpiece on my coffee table. That said, the apartment is in decent shape now and all set for Mike to arrive tomorrow night.
