January 2013 Update



Knotty Knitter's Scarf
The Knotty Knitter's Scarf - I bought this wonderful kit from Maggiknits at Stitches East in October 2012 (yes, another new project). However, I completed it in January, not quite in time for a dinner I was going to, but by the end of the month. Just loved making it! And, a portion of the purchase proceeds went to support Autism research.

Manos 7-color Scarf - saw this scarf at The Blue Purl, and decided it would be perfect for my father-in-law. The yarn is Manos Silk Blend, and the pattern is from The Blue Purl. (Whoops! Forgot to take a picture before I gave the scarf away!)

Neverending Scarf
Neverending Scarves - this is from "Cowl Girls", and I made a version of it last year for myself. Decided to make two more as gifts for this holiday. The picture here is the one I gave my mother--in-law. It's made from Ella Rae Chunky Superwash and Cascade 128 Superwash.
