Bare But Warm.

A few months back I saw a hat/scarf ( Xhilaration® Knit Hat with Pom And Tassels - Green) combo that I like.  It's just green.  Like...hmmm...Kelly Green?  Anyway, I bought the hat and gloves yesterday (Note:  I bought the hat for cuteness, but now I think I have an abnormally big head because the hat leaves my earlobes hanging out...so sad.), and decided to request a friend make a scarf for me.  I'm big on having something that no one else has.   And, scarves seem to be my favorite accessory these days.  Plus, they keep my bare neck warm.

I talked to this friend today.  She's gonna make me a scarf.  :)  She wanted to know if I wanted warmth or style?  And she asked if I had a particular pattern?  Well, no.  I just want a scarf.  I never got farther than I want. 

So she sends me links to patterns...and after much thought and consideration...I picked one.

Then, she tells me I can pick up the yarn. 

Is it weird that this excites me?  I'm so excited that I am going to go to the store, pick out some pretty yarn, and then, I will have my very own scarf??? 

I really am easy to please.  (I didn't say easy, I said easy to please!)

I took up knitting a couple of years ago.
All I can do is the basic stitches. And make scarves. Well, sort of.

One was abnormally long, one was abnormally thick, one was well...it just was.

I will buy my scarves to wear from now on. But I still like to knit. I like the sound it makes. I need a rocking chair though, and a bun.

Thanks for the VERY NICE comment you left me. I feel very honored. I think I may print it out and post it in my office next to my computer anytime I need to 'feel good'. It totally made my day. Fact is, it made my month!!
