Forgive the silence but holiday festivities have taken over. I finally finished the Skinny Scarf late in the afternoon on Christmas Eve, just in time to give it to the recipient a couple of hours later. Unfortunately I didn’t get a photo but the recipient’s mother did - perhaps I can get a copy at some point.
DSL was down all morning at work yesterday which meant that I could get back to the baby bobble jacket, andI should get some more done on that today. Tonight at SnB a film crew will be there and I’d love to go, also to check out the new location which I heard rocks, but something tells me I will get stuck at work too long. I always do.
I’ll be keeping it low key with some friends tomorrow night, and then a brunch on Thurs. I hope everyone has a safe and festive New Year’s.

Happy New Year
Posted by jackie blue on December 30th, 2003Knitting? What’s that?
Posted by jackie blue on December 23rd, 2003OK, it’s been a really crazy week and I didn’t even finish the long skinny scarf. I might just do it today/tonight, but I’m wary of it too because it’s a little scratchy. Maybe it will not be a gift after all. I mean, I only have a day or two left for that, eh?
I’ve been socializing as much as I can and keeping busy with work. The weekend was full of parties, family gatherings, and I managed to sneak in a movie (The Cooler) as well. Now I have to find the time tomorrow (and tonight, perhaps) for laundry and baking for Christmas Eve dinner. I’m almost ready for the holiday season to be over, though I have to say, I like all the activity. Am I the only one that gets pretty depressed in January? Long long nights, cold cold weather, and people are so wiped from December that no one really wants to do anything. I forsee a lot of knitting after the New Year.
It’s a Frog Eat Frog World
Posted by jackie blue on December 16th, 2003I looked at the chunky scarf today, all two feet or so of it, and ripped out the whole thing. What was I thinking? It’s way too thick a yarn to make a scarf that wide. The poor recipient will be smothered. I started it again at half the width and it will be one of those fabulously trendy Skinny Scarves like at the mall stores. Yeah, then it will get longer faster. I like that.
I’m exhausted. I really want to just sit in front of the TV and make the skinny scarf longer.
