Birthday Scarf

Finally finished a scarf for my neice's birthday that I started almost two weeks' ago. I've missed the birthday deadline but Neice2 doesn't mind. Christmas preparations, snow, and illness slowed ground to a halt a project that should have taken no more than a few hours knitting.
Still, I'm pleased with the result. This one row pattern really suits Posh Elinor Aran.
Scarf modelled by Arthur.

Christmas presents

I started this little beaded 'purse' at the Hitchin Stitchin' Workshop in November and am ready to parcel it up. The beads were pre-threaded before knitting the front in stocking stitch, using Rowan DK. For the back, the button flap was knitted in moss stitch by picking up the stitches cast off at the end of the front section. The buttons are mother of pearl that complements the shiny silver beaded star.









Trusty Arthur models the hat I shall be wearing at the Red Hat Soc's Christmas Buffet tomorrow, where I shall be singing in the 'choir' with 3 other Red Hatters.

The ideal knitter's model

Running late today. I took MWNN to the station and then embarked on what turned out to be the longest ever shopping expedition. Didn't mean to spend that long picking up meds, fairy lights, etc but I found something I couldn't resist.

I have a new model for my knitting projects.

He's a rescue-bear from the charity shop.

The scarf is the one row pattern knitted in sock weight, Lana Grossa Meilenweit Solo this time. I'm working on a double-layered hat in the same yarn to go with this scarf.
