Ah, Knitting!

Thanks for all the urging to keep Edgar (I was probably a little obvious about my bias, huh?). *grin* Well, I finished the scarf two days later and gave him a good wash and conditioning. The conditioner helped, but didn't get rid of the itch all together. But you know what? I wore him out the other day and didn't get the scratchy urge to rip him off! :) The Hubby thinks it looks like a funky necktie when I wear it this way, but it sure is warm. The scarf is a long 62", but I doubled it here. The blog debut:

In other craftiness, I am working on an Elizabeth I scarf (Town & Country--the cream one) in KnitPicks Shimmer Grape Hyacinth for my friend Jennifer for Christmas. It's fairly easy so far considering I started on US8 needles, thought the fabric was too open and moved down to US3 before I was finally satisfied. So much for a quick lace knit. :)

About a week ago, I also finished this little thing for my grandmother for Christmas. What is it? It's a cutesy bee necklace for putting your thimble in! (She's a quilter and loves bees.) A little corny for my tastes, but right on for her. *grin* And it was fun to make! (Thanks to Katrina for giving me the encouragement to tackle it!)

p.s. a couple of gifts going on for my mom and sister, but we're keeping hush on those. :)
