Day 71, Scarf 71: Wine and Cheese

After a day out on the town, Max and I learned from our friend Daryn that we had been invited to a wine and cheese party at our friends' place. There was a huge spread of cheese and I think we all left feeling we had gained a good 10 pounds of cheese weight! The atmosphere was rather relaxed so I was able to nibble and knit! My friend Marnie commented that the bit of red in the scarf represents the Merlot...

Day 70, Scarf 70: Into the Night

This scarf was started before we headed out to the Basia Bulat concert at St. James Hall. The scarf is named after her song, "Into the Night". It was an amazing night complete with meeting one of the backup singers' mom, acapella performance, pizza at Uncle Fatih's, and ice cream at La Casa Gelato! Oh what a delicious night!

Day 69, Scarf 69: Blue Queen's heART

Before starting this scarf, my friend from work, Kecia, took me to Queens Art in North Vancouver. It turned out that the store was closing and everything was on sale for 50% off or more! I ended up buying a whole bunch of yarn and knitting needles so that I can get my grade 6 students knitting! When I got home I was so pleased with all of my purchases so I named a scarf in their honour.

Day 68, Scarf 68: Staring at Goats

This pink and burgundy scarf was knitted while watching the movie, "Men who Stare at Goats". As I knitted, I was reminded of my sister-in-law, Andrea's wedding because these are the colours she used in her wedding decor.

Day 67, Scarf 67: Dusty Rose

Today's scarf was knitted while watching "Paper Heart" with Max. It was so nice to just snuggle up with my husband and knit! This scarf was made using the yarn donated by Shawn's mom - 2 balls of pink and one purple.

Day 65, Scarf 65: Snowy Forest

This scarf was knitted while watching Canada take on USA in the gold medal game. What an intense match! Thankfully, we won!!
