When my kids were little and I was the one picking out their clothes, I could dress them in all sorts of hand knits. But then came the awkward tween and teen years when they wouldn't be caught dead in something Mom made. Such a curse!
I made this scarf earlier this spring. It's super simple and was a great choice for 2 hanks Berroco's Origami yarn in Vacay Pink (#4356). The yarn really looks more red than pink, despite its name. DD#1 came home for Mother's Day weekend, and somehow the scarf ended up around her neck and on its way back to her place. Hrmmfff! Okay, so I did let her take it! The colors in this one reminded me of yummy madras plaids. For DD to want to take this away was the ultimate compliment!
Since then, every time I walk into Twist (the ultimate LYS), I have looked longingly at the display. When the supply got down to 3 skeins of the blue Origami (Party by the Shore, #4361), I caved and bought them. What to make.... ???? who knows???
Just to prove that I don't just buy yarn, here's a sneak peek of what I have been working on for the last several weeks. The yarn is SWTC Tofutsies (a sock yarn, #861 TOEpaz), but you will have to wait and see what the project actually is. So check back! : )
I hope you are enjoying summer's bounty! My garden runneth over with veggies, but fruit is what's for lunch!
