Stop the Presses

We have actual KNITTING content here at Christmas ornaments-R-Us. I finally managed to get a non-blurry picture of the cable pattern I'm using for my Grandma's scarf, Winter Vineyard. It is a bit unique because the number of crossed stitches are not equal -- one stitch crosses over 2 stitches each time. I also really like this scarf because it is reversible -- there are cables on both sides. If you want to see a pattern (and keep in mind I've never written one before), click here.

The good news is that I finished the scarf, with plenty of time to spare! (Not really -- I wanted to finish this weekend so my parents could take it with them to my grandma's for Christmas, since I won't be there.)

The bad news is ... I left it at my parents house without taking a finished picture!


Snow

Don't worry, though. My grandma has made me promise I will visit sometime not-too-long after Christmas. So I'll be sure to get a pic with the happy (!) recipient.

As you can see, we got a little snow at my mom and dad's house this weekend. It was great because it wasn't enough to make the roads bad, but just enough to have big fat snowflakes floating around outside while we celebrated Christmas.

Next weekend... Christmas with the in-laws and more knitted gifts! (Don't worry, they're already done.) I'll be sure to take pictures this time!

The scarf looks great and I'm glad you got a little snow - makes it festive.
