Christmas Knitting Blahs

January 11th, 2009

I will learn one year how to have an ambitious Christmas knitting list without losing my enthusiasm for the craft a month or two before Christmas. I haven’t done a ton of knitting for the last several months, aside from what I had to finish for Christmas. I haven’t been really excited about it either. Well, no more.

I don’t have great chances for good sunlight to procure wonderfully clear detailed pictures, but you get the idea. I needed something easy to cast on, and have been wanting to replace my winter scarf with something softer. In comes some rainbow handspun and my [Antique Lace](http://www.ravelry.com/dl/kristin-lemoine-designs/4425?filename=Vintage_Lace.pdf) scarf to the rescue. This was some early handspun I made, so the scarf is slightly uneven in width and there are some spots where the yarn gets really thin. However, I really love the slow transition of bright color, especially in this incredibly snow stormy winter.

I was also pleased to use this fun new toy when I started the project. Thank you to my husband for this wonderful Christmas gift.

    I think the blahs are just part of the nature of any craft. I know I routinely go from totally meh to completely obsessed.

    I do love that pattern – especially with that yarn. Very pretty!
