So my computer decided to freak out and dump some of its physical memory. I am writing this post on different computer than my home one. I can't log on at all nor can I find my recovery disc for it. We decided that it was time for us to get a new laptop. The only problem is that I need to get my pictures off the hard drive. I have someone working on it. So for now no pictures of anything.. No draft stoppers... and no pictures of my Irish Hiking scarf.
I plan on giving the scarf to my mother for Christmas. This is the first time that I have ever done cables and I have to say that it is easy. Looking at all the pictures of the ones that have been made made me nervous to try it. But once I got going it was easy. I would recommend it to anyone that wanted to try making cables. It is easy but you end up making a beautiful scarf that looks really hard to make.
This year I decided not to let anyone know that I was making them anything for Christmas. That way if for some chance I didn't finish they wouldn't even know. My MIL had told me that my FIL said he needed a new scarf and that maybe I would end up making him one for Christmas so how could I not? Since he doesn't know that I am working on one, I was able to work on it at their house the other night right in front of him. I also decided to keep the list small. There is nothing worse than trying to cram loads of hand knitted items into the last week of Christmas. I did come up with a plan for next year. If I start right after the new year, I could knit up scarfs for everyone by next Christmas. Maybe that will be my new year's resolution. Cause you need to make one to break it, right???
