Day 95, Scarf 95: Chili


Today's scarf was knitted right before my friend Shannon came over. We headed out to Ginger Chili Restaurant for some much needed Chinese food. Yum! This scarf was knitted with multiple shades of red and reminds me of the chilies that were all over our food!

Day 94, Scarf 94: Stormy Weather


On a gray and stormy day it only seemed appropriate to knit a chunky gray scarf. It's warm and cozy for those stormy days!

Day 93, Scarf 93: Snuggles on the Sofa


This scarf was knitted on a lazy sort of Sunday. Max, Abby (our cat) and I had a little nap on the sofa in the afternoon while the weather started to get gloomy. After our relaxing nap, I set about making a scarf with stormy blues and grays.

Day 92, Scarf 92: A Sunny Disposition


Keeping with the same colour palate as yesterday, I decided to call this scarf "A Sunny Disposition" because that is what I feel I have had for the past few days. Having mostly recovered from being sick, I am starting to remember what life was like pre-sick. It is amazing how much more energy you have when you no longer have a nagging cough and relentless headache!

Day 91, Scarf 91: I got a Golden Ticket


Okay, so it wasn't a golden ticket, but I did receive my acceptance letter from the UBC Masters in Music Education program! Today's scarf was knitted in shades of gold, with a little bit of green and pink thrown in. All of this beautiful yarn was donated by someone I have never met named Diana. The yarn she donated is absolutely spectacular because it is all alpaca, silk, bamboo, and wool!

Day 90, Scarf 90: Three Month Milestone


It's hard to believe, but I'm at the three month mark now! Today's scarf was knitted with two shades of green silk/alpaca yarn. Gorgeous! There will be a photo to follow...

Day 89, Scarf 89: Warming Hearts


Today's scarf was knitted after an amazing day at work. We had an assembly to recognize our fundraising efforts for Covenant house and when my choir of 54 students sang "We are the World" with live piano and drum accompaniment they actually brought members of our staff and the spokesman from Covenant House to tears! The choir's singing created a more emotional connection to all we had accomplished in fundraising and truly warmed the hearts of those in the audience.
