well, i'm knitting knitting knitting.
I've got my dad's scarf underway. his will take the longest. darn it all! but it's beautiful browns and blues. i'm through with the first skein and i must admit, it's kinda slow and the stitches are small. now i understand what everyone talks about when they say READ THE GAUGES! yes.
my mom's is beautiful but it won't keep her warm! just ribbons of gorgeous pastels. very lovely. more of an accent piece.
bam's mum's is gonna be first done. i finally wised up and bought lions pride chenille quick knit yarn. hers is deep red with tan accents to match her tawny coat and red hair. hardly knitted and it's flying along.
bam's dad's i haven't started yet but it's gonna be navy blue and again, the lions pride in wool ease. very fast stuff.
bam's scarf is super yummy cashmere blend. wow. expensive, yes. delicious yes. but i'm trying to do a ribbed pattern and i unraveled it like 5 times and then put it away to start over when i'm rested. ah well.
gotta run.
oh! need to find baby pink and silver yarn for charlotte.
plus rainbow scarf for emma.
don't know what for sam yet.
