evannichols knows that I'm making a scarf for him, so this won't spoil the surprise— well, except that now he can see sort of what it will look like. ;) Still, I wanted to show my current project (the cardigan is finished; I'll ask Julia to take a couple of pictures of me in it and I'll post them) which is my first foray into the world of double-knitting in which your item/garment is two-sided, completely reversible, and thus double thickness. And odd to set up and at first, a challenge (for me) to wrap my head around when reading the pattern. But it's good now!
The colors are slightly off; the darker blue is a lovely cerulean and the lighter, a robin's egg blue. Evan is allergic to wool so this is also my first time making a scarf with yarn that is a cotton/microfiber mix.
Looking forward to my 3-day weekend, especially since now I'm the recipient of paid holidays! I'm more looking forward to the following weekend when Jen will come and stay over New Year's while Julia is in southern California visiting her family. I've arranged for massages for Jen and myself on Monday the 2nd. Great way to start off the new year!
