Day 132, Scarf 132: Orange Creamsicle


Well, it is what it sounds like - a white and orange scarf that makes your mouth water on a hot and sunny day! After I finished knitting this one I had two bowls full of coffee ice cream, it was the closest thing to creamsicles I could find in the freezer!

Day 131, Scarf 131: Keep on the Sunny Side


Today was a rough day of negotiations in the staffroom. We've been having meetings all week and finally it seems that things might start to settle. All the way through I've been trying to stay positive and "keep on the sunny side". Today's scarf is knitted with 2 balls of yellow yarn (the sunny part) and one ball of gray (the not so sunny part).

Day 130, Scarf 130: Unravel


Today's scarf was knitted with ruby red yarn that was donated by my friend Marnie's mom. It is called "Unravel" because I literally had to do this in order to use the yarn. All of the yarn had been beautifully knitted into these woven basket-like stitches - it hurt a little bit to have to undo the work of someone but I put it to good use!

Day 129, Scarf 129: Safe


Well, it's official, my job is not in jeopardy! I actually received a letter of apology for all of the stress that I was put through due to the "letter of contemplation" I was given in February. This scarf embodies the word safe as it is made with thick, silky and warm navy yarn that was donated by Sheryl MacKay. It is absolutely beautiful and it will be hard to give away!

Day 128, Scarf 128: It's a Girl!


Today's scarf was knitted while attending my friend Angela's baby shower. She hasn't had the baby yet but she knows that she is having a girl. As you can imagine, all of the gifts were pretty shades of pink (as is today's scarf!). I can't wait to meet Angela's baby!

Day 127, Scarf 127: CBC


I began today's scarf while sitting in the waiting area at CBC Radio. I chose to use burgundy and cream yarn to stand for the red and white of CBC's logo. Knitting in the waiting room helped to calm me down as I waited for Sheryl MacKay to interview me. I need not have been nervous, Sheryl made me feel completely comfortable and even donated some beautiful navy blue yarn! I'll let you know when my interview is going to air!
