Happy 2011, everybody! I think I've finally recovered from the long slog that was my nephew's blanket. He loved it, by the way. I pulled it out of my suitcase and said, "I made you a new blanket." He said, "Thank you! Can I put it on my bed?" He also insisted on wrapping up in the blanket while he lay on the floor watching the Peanuts holiday DVDs I bought for him. I was so touched. He's a sweet little kid.
Anyway, because I'm a weak-willed person who can't resist discounted and soon-to-be-discontinued yarn, I bought the Capra Cashmere sampler from Knit Picks a couple of weeks ago and am making--what else?--a scarf with it. I'm knitting it in the round as a tube. When I get a little further along, I'll post a picture.
Oh, I'm also doing some baby knitting. Three friends/acquaintances are pregnant and due this spring, so I'm making bibs and burp cloths for them. They're quick, easy, and practical. I'd rather give something that I know the parents can use, instead of a sweater that the baby will wear once or twice before they outgrow it.
