Started this one the night before we left on the 20th, and finished it on the 23rd. It was for me, but turned out wider then I wanted. Mark suggested I gift it to his friend we were about to go visit, so I did. Very hard yarn to work with, nice and soft and fuzzy, but the inner part was basically string and had no give:
While I was making the above scarf, my 6 y/o niece requested a scarf for herself. I was going to use a yarn that I had used for my girls, but it turned out my niece's mother had bought some yarn to give to my grandmother-in-law, to crochet a scarf, but my GIL only used one kind of yarn and didn't want to use this yarn, so I used it instead. It was soft and pefect. My niece
*loved* it. I started it on the 23rd and finished it the morning of the 25th.
Then I finally started one for me on the 25th. I had gotten the yarn at Michaels with (2) 40% off coupons that were given to me. The yarn is poly/nylon, but feels like chenille, it is incredibly soft. I love working with it, a totally easy knit, only 10 stitches wide for the scarf. I needed 1.5 balls. --- However, as I got to the end, and I was about to visit my parents, I decided to gift it to my Momma. I ran out and got Micheal's last ball of the stuff so I could still make myself one. I finished my Mom's on the 27th, and started mine that evening, finished it on the plane yesterday afternoon on the 31st. I have already started another one, LOL! My mom's and mine both look like this:
I got my Stitch N ***** book in the mail while I was gone and am enjoying reading it. I look forward this month to knitting something besides scarves. However, they were easy to do, relaxing and helped pass lulls of time on my trip. Like in traffic.
