I know you're all still diggin' out, or swimming out, or drying out your CD cases by the heater because you left your car window down. As Shakespeare said,
"Now is the winter of our discontent."
Certainly this winter would qualify for that famous quotation. It seems like it has been winter for a year, so it's not too late to whip up a simle cap and scarf, just to break the monotony. Darrell did the for his sister Lauren, (left) and her friend Jackie, (rright).
Lauren's eggplant scarf and hat are simple ribbing made with Plymouth Yarn Baby Alpaca Grande. Jackie's grey hat and scarf are also made from Baby Alpaca Grande. The hat is the Amanda hat, free on Ravelry, the scarf a simple garter and drop stitch pattern. You can contact Darrell for the pattern, but it's so easy to knit a couple of rows, the do yarn-overs and drop tham on the next row. A new hat and scarf in dark days of winter, when we're looking for our children , or ddigging our car out, or traveling long distances in the snow, fog, rain, ice, ad nauseum, is a pick-me-up. And while you're knitting your winter item, you can be meditating on what you are going to knit for spring. Honest, it's right around the corner.
"The sun'll come out, tomorrow..............."
