Handmade Christmas Part 2.5: In Which I Realize I Have Made a Mistake

Last night, as I was looking through my yarn stash for something, I ran across this scarf I made a long time ago. I don't have the yarn info any more, but I know it's hand-dyed sock yarn.



I used a lacy rib pattern that I found in one of those Barbara Walker stitch books. Anyway, I looked at it and thought, "That would be a great gift for my brother's girlfriend!" And since I'm going to see them this weekend, the timing is perfect as well, so I threw it in my bag.

Then it occurred to me that it'll look pretty shabby for me to give a gift to my nephew and his mom but nothing to my own brother. So I continued digging in the stash and found some a lovely gray yarn and cast on for a hat.



We'll see whether I can finish it on the plane this afternoon. Eeep!

Hey, Lynette. I did it! I finished it on the plane, and my brother loved it. He's losing his hair, so he needs something to keep his head warm anyway.
