Day 37, Scarf 37: Wine with Brunch


Today we had my parents and Max's parents over for brunch and, you guessed it, once we had finished eating I started knitting! There was much debate over the name for this scarf but I've decided that the name should honour what we were doing at the time it was made as well as it's colour (wine). It's amazing how quickly the knitting goes when you have family chatting with you!

Day 36, Scarf 36: Yellow Allsorts


After having knitted a pink allsorts scarf, I really felt that it needed a buddy. Would you believe that when I went to my parents' house yesterday my dad had another huge bag of yarn for me from his friend Cameron at work and in that bag the was the perfect yellow for an allsort?! It turns out that Cameron's wife Grace (who donated the last big bag of yarn) has a friend, Arlyn, who is also an avid knitter! I am now happily swimming in yarn! Thank you so much Arlyn and Grace...and Cameron for being the delivery man!

Day 35, Scarf 35: Undecided Newsprint


Well, this black, white and grey scarf just couldn't decide if it wanted to be smooth or fuzzy! Instead, it has turned itself into a striped fuzzy/non-fuzzy scarf! The yarn used to knit this scarf was donated by my friend Angela and my cousin Diana. Thank you for the yarn donations!

Day 34, Scarf 34: Allsorts


As I knitted this scarf my mouth kept watering for the pink, white and black marshmallowy, licoricey bits of candy Allsorts! I was reminded of how, as a child, my dad would let me eat all of the sweet white and pink parts and give him the left over licorice to eat! The scarf was made with the pink alpaca yarn from my friend Angela and the black and white yarn from my cousin Diana.

Day 33, Scarf 33: Twin


Well, with all of the meetings and craziness of preparing my Masters application I had very little time to be creative with colour choice today! I decided to go with exactly the same yarn as the previous scarf to make life easier!

Day 32, Scarf 32: Masters in Knitting


Yesterday's scarf was a whirlwind of knitting as I am working on an application to do my masters degree. Somehow I managed to get a scarf out yesterday but my mind was definitely not on it! It was knit, knit, knit, write, write, write the whole way through!

One month of scarves: Dec. 26th, 2009 - Jan. 25th 2010


I will be posting a picture of me with all of the scarves from month one...keep on checking back as it will be up soon! OK, it took me another month to actually post this picture. I'm knitting a scarf a day, I figure that's a good excuse!
