I cannot believe it is December 1st already!! Where did the month of November go! I swear the months are just flying by so quickly. Before you know it my 1st grandbaby will be here (baby is due in July). I have been knitting gifts for Christmas this year and I thought I was almost done but then I remembered I wanted to make John a lovely scarf this year for Christmas. Last night was my knitting group at Cottage Yarn in Mint Hill, NC and I was looking around the shop for some yarn and for a pattern. I found this lovely yarn called Eco Duo and it was in a lovely shade of grays. Here is a picture of the color so you can visualize it:
I will be doing a very simple pattern of Knit 1, Purl 1 for this scarf but it makes a really nice pattern and I'm sure he'll love it!
I also have another gift to complete but I'm not saying what it is in case this person is reading my post!
I hope everyone finds the time to enjoy themselves during the holiday! I plan on baking cookies with my 2 daughters, making some holiday jewelry for myself, going to see the beautiful Christmas lights at the Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden and just plain enjoy the holiday season!
My DIL DebiJean has a gift certificate to Daniel Stowe and loves it. She makes it a point to go every year at the holidays too. Some year if we're up there I'd love to go too. That gray will make a lovely scarf-very manly. Take care.
ReplyDeleteI agree that time seems to be flying. My daughter and family will be arriving in a week and a half and there will be parties to host. It's going to be crazy here, but happy crazy.
ReplyDeleteThat gray color yarn will make a very nice scarf!
What a gift to be able to knit! Your header picture is amazing.
ReplyDeleteYes, it's December 1st.... yippee!
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking Christmas thoughts for a couple of weeks, but was holding off to really swing into the season until the first.
Enjoy your knitting. That looks like lovely soft yarn!
I know what you mean; I can't believe it's already December either. Time is just flying by.
ReplyDeleteI bet the scarf will be lovely and John will love anything you make for him. I hope you enjoy all your holiday preparations.
Happy December 1st, Sherry! I plan on enjoying the season too. That's going to be a lovely scarf!

I´m gonna bake this weekend with my boys - I love to do that and so do they (so far at least, haha)!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day, it´s snowing like crazy here...
You are so right about time flying. It seems to go faster every year.
ReplyDeleteThat yarn is going to make a very nice scarf.
We went to Daniel Stowe to see the lights a few years ago. Very pretty.
I just read your previous post and must say your jewelry is so pretty. I love all of the Christmas earrings.
