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 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.

Day 88, Scarf 88: Blush


Day 88's scarf was knitted with two shades of pale pink yarn. The colour of the scarf reminded me of the way my cheeks looked after walking home in the cold after going out to purchase some much needed decongestants.

Day 87, Scarf 87: Abby's Choice


Day 87's scarf was knitted before Max and I went out for dinner. I left the lovely blue scarf on our couch only to come home and find that Abby had decided that it was her scarf! She was all curled up on it and was happily purring away!

Day 86, Scarf 86: Skein by Skein


Well, today I truly mastered the art of taking a skein of yarn and turning it into a ball by myself. I discovered that if I wrap the skein around my knees I can easily start making a ball of yarn without grabbing random pieces of furniture from around the house. I'll have to post a video of me doing it at some point...it's something to see! Today's scarf was knitted with a total of 5 balls of yarn all in shades of pink and blue, all hand wrapped into balls by me!
