only a few more inches to go
and the charcoal scarf is almost done
i took this project with me over the holidays
but didn't get quite as far as i wanted.
it's funny how the process of surveying a huge selection of
chocolate bon bons on my sister's coffee table,
selecting my favourites and eating them
can distract one from working those needles !!!
also...this week,
i am rereading salinger's the catcher in the rye.
my son is reading it for his high school english course
and i'm aching to discuss this classic with him.
i got so much from this book when i read it the first time,
it will be interesting to hear what a teenage boy has to say.
gosh... sometimes highschool seems just like yesterday !
back to knitting projects
check out what my sister knitted...
they were so colourful and cheerful on her mantel
that i knew instantly how i was going to learn the art of knitting socks.

Oh. My. Word! Those stockings are fantastic! I had already decided to knit us some stockings for next year (we have small ones now, made from a patched up quilt pieces) but I wasn't sure what kind of pattern I wanted on them. I'm pretty sure it's going to be something very similar to this now. Thank you so much for sharing (hopping over from KCCO).
ReplyDeleteThose stockings are beautiful! I love your scarf as well. :)
ReplyDeleteLove the stockings! And I can definitely see how chocolate could be distracting...it would distract me as well :-)
ReplyDeleteI need to add that book to my list. Lovely knit and the blue highlights are lovely :)
ReplyDeleteLove the colors in scarf- so pretty. Catcher in the Rye...yes, a favorite!
ReplyDeleteHappy Knitting Erica.
Christmas stocking pattern is free from Ravelry. Quick & Easy Christmas Stocking by Haley Waxberg. It WAS a quick and easy pattern-less than a day to complete a stocking. I have done 3 so far. Happy Knitting.
