Life's a Stitch

And more recently life’s a creative adventure with some travel thrown in.

Now that the holiday gifts are given I can post about the knitting. It's tough to keep a secret in blogland.  It must have looked like I had abandoned knitdom, but truth be told, most everything knit was a gift. This one was for my niece, a college freshman. All dorm kids need the huggy comfort of a soft scarf. Especially those way up in the Northeast.

Pattern: Wavy,  by Sarah Smith, available free on Knitty

Yarn: Heirloom Alpaca 8-ply

Needles: Who knows? I've got to start writing down the needle size prior to putting them back in the needle holder. My best guess is a US 6.

Thoughts: Great pattern, I give it my highest compliment: I would knit it again. It needed the growth from blocking, but I also liked the more bunched up unblocked version.

    Very pretty! I’ll have to visit knitty & take a closer look, but I LOVE your Life’s A Stitch herringbone scarf. Are you still sending free patterns, I hope?
    You have a very friendly blog. That’s to be expected of us knitters… those of us with blogs, anyway.
