Feeling a void inside? I know what you’ve been missing… headless blogger photos! I hacked my head off of this one thanks to a really really bad hair day.. and fighting with the self-timer function on the camera. There is no pattern to this scarf.. I simply cast on 10 or 12 stitches and knit garter stitch using size 17us needles until I ran out of both balls of yarn. The yarn was Gedifra Tagliato that I got for my birthday when I was in PA a few years ago… I just could never figure out what to make with it or get the gauge right. Its a huge, chunky, fuzzy scarf that ended up not really being entirely warm. *sigh*
Other than this scarf.. I haven’t knit anything in quite a while. My hand and wrist has been giving me problems again and I’m not willing to do any more damage to it.. and seeing a doctor is pretty much out of the question. (insert rant about the US’s lack of gov’t health care here)
I have been hoping that I would suddenly be smacked upside the head by the “spirit of the holidays” and get to decorating the house (there are TWENTY DAYS until Christmas.. eep!) but so far.. no luck. Usually I’ve at least considered putting up the tree by now.. but this year I couldn’t care less about any of it. Hubby will be camping this weekend and I’ll be home with Munchkin for 2 days.. so I thought about putting some Christmas music (we have those satellite music channels on the tv… I assume ONE of them is holiday music) on, lighting a fire in the fireplace, making hot chocolate, and getting my butt in gear with some help from the Munchkin. Yes people, I’m FORCING myself to be festive… its a new low. Anyone want to come over and help me staple antlers onto the cat? **
** Its a reference to the movie Scrooged- I’m not really going to staple the cat’s head.
