FO: The Wedgie Scarf


Is it okay if I have only one finished project this year? I mean, if I look back over the year and all of the things that happened and were accomplished, I think the universe might cut me some slack on having only finished one knitting project!

This here is a Wedgie Scarf courtesy of Vyvyan. I knit it with two balls of Paton's SWS in Natural Pink. I really enjoyed knitting this scarf - once you get started, it was easy to memorize the pattern and quick to move through. I didn't really change anything except for adding the fringe on the end and I only did one end wedge repeat because I didn't want to go into a third ball of SWS for something like 3 rows of knitting.

This was a Christmas gift for my best friend, Toni. Today Toni completed what I call the ultimate friend test - she sat in a bathing suit store with her 6 month old baby girl on her knee while I tried on approximately 300 bathing suits in just over 2.5 hours.I told her at one point that I would have to knit her a lot more scarves to make up for this huge act of kindness that she afforded me today. She only giggled, but she was probably thinking to herself "...only scarves?"

In any case, it was a good day. I finished a scarf, I found not one, but TWO, bathing suits and most importantly, I'm on my way to start my honeymoon tomorrow for a week.

After I pack some knitting, that is!

there aren't enough words...

.... to say to Byron and Maureen for their amazing photography on our special day. Not only were we lucky to have their fabulous vision and creativity all to ourselves for our wedding, but we are all the more fortunate because Byron is my husband's first cousin.

My best option is to post a link - check out some AMAZING photography here:
