Noviembre

Once again I've made the so-called scarf in Malabrigo. When something works well and I like the results, I often make it again for a gift. I think it's kind of like trying new recipes on yourself before you serve them at a party. You know the end result will be good.

The colorway is called Noviembre. I made this for my aunt, not for a specific reason but because I just felt like it. I plan on giving it to her over Thanksgiving weekend. It should be a good ending to the month of Noviembre.

Hoobah-in-Progress

I've done a lot of knitting lately but not a lot of posting. But I'm trying to catch up!

Here's one of the projects that has been keeping me busy. It's the Old Shale Smoke Ring, the third (I think) one I've made. The yarn is Knit Picks Stroll sock yarn. This is going to be a Christmas present for a friend.
The sheep stitch marker makes me smile.

Ishbel

I am so in love with my Ishbel shawl! I think this is my favorite thing I've ever created! The pattern is quite easy and the results are beautiful.

I chose this yarn by Miss Babs because I loved the colorway, Roasted Pumpkin. It's a perfect fall color.

Here it is, blocking on a guest bed.

I am not sure why I chose to wear it with the point to the front for the photograph. In real life I've worn it with the point in the back.

Last week I wore it to a Houston Rockets basketball game. As I was getting my purse searched for contraband before entering the arena, the searcher commented how much she liked my scarf. Another day I was paying for my purchases at Talbots. A customer in line behind me also liked it.

I'm looking forward to wearing this all Thanksgiving weekend in Colorado!
