I'm still working on the yellow sweater. The back on left front are finished! Hurray! Just the right front and the sleeves. It may be finished in time to be wrapped under the tree.
I've also cast on the scarf. A simple pattern with a wavy pattern. Hopefully it will be a quick knit and find its way under the tree for a special someone. Sorry the photo isn't very good. The yarn is Plymouth Kudo in shades of blue and green, really quite lovely.
As for the reading, we are still digging through the Christmas book basket. The girls picked out one of my favorites, The Best Christmas Pageant Ever. And I am trying to spend a little time reading The Christmas Tree, the story of the Rockefeller Center tree.
Don't forget to hope over to Ginny's blog and see all the lovely projects and wonderful book suggestions.
The pattern of your scarf is lovely :) And I was just oohing and awwing over your gorgeous christmas tree below *grin*. We are heading out to cut ours down as soon as hubby gets home from work later this week. I can't wait! Have a lovely day :)
ReplyDeleteI did that same scarf for my grandmother last year. I like the dark color of it. I just took my oldest to watch a local theater performance of The Best Christmas Pageant Ever last week. We love that story. :)

ReplyDeleteElizabeth,
ReplyDeleteThat scarf looks beautiful!

The pattern looks lovely. Is that circular knitting? I only know the basics of knitting and the circular needles are fascinating.
ReplyDeleteI remember my mom used to read that book to me when I was little. I've got to get a copy of it for my daughter too.
Feral Woodwife - I am knitting this scarf on circular needles but only because I didn't have straight needles in this size. So I am using the circular needls like straight needles.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by.
The scarf looks fantastic. I love that pretty pattern.
