I'm still a knitter. Albeit a slow one. And mostly an accessory knitter. I wish I had mounds of time and mounds of attention to create a proper sweater (instead of just start them). But real life gets in the way.
Oh well.
I love infinity scarves. Really I do. I decided to make one that I'd made earlier, the September Circle by Melissa LaBarre. Hmm, it seems I never posted to this blog my previous one, which I have been wearing a lot. It's a real easy project that I love so I thought I'd make another one. This time I chose brown, which may seem boring, but my Patagonia down sweater is brown so it does match. I think brown is a nice winter neutral. I recently found out my mom hates brown and refuses to wear it. Seriously...she liked a dress a lot but refused to try it on because it was "brown". Um, excuse me, that dress was actually "leopard". But I digress.
Since this pattern is so quick and easy I thought I'd easily finish it over my 10-day vacation in Colorado. I even took another project to begin since I was so sure I'd finish this in a few days. I underestimated how much activity would fill up my time and how busy I'd be with friends and relatives. Honestly, this was my best trip home in a long time.
I finally finished knitting this a week or so ago, put to block a few days ago (yay for that "snow day" we got on Friday), and took it off the blocking board today.
Hmm, probably should not have taken a photo after a trip to the grocery store with minimal makeup and uncombed hair. And my fox shirt. Oh well. This is me.
Here are some better photos of the photogenic infinity scarf.

The scarf is lovely and I love the fox shirt! I can't covet it though... because Austin hasn't screamed "What does the fox say?!" in weeks, and I don't want him to relapse.
(And brown is my favorite color, so I'm sad for your mom, even though I consider leopard a neutral, as you probably know!)
