Drop Stitch Scarf

Yippee! I finished the Drop Stitch Scarf I cast on for on the way home from my daughter’s soccer games a couple of weeks ago

Some of you may remember that I received this yarn from a friend.

When she bought me the yarn, she got the pattern for a Drop Stitch Scarf. The yarn store had a sample knitted up, and she loved it.

She also bought me these bamboo needles, which proved a blessing. I tried knitting this on my Options, but it was very frustrating. The yarn kept sliding off of the needles. So, I switched needles, and work progressed much faster.

Here is the finished scarf. I plan to give this to a gal in my office who, upon seeing the yarn, fell in love with it. I think the scarf will look great on her. Her skin tone is perfect for it. Plus, she has no idea that I’m going to give it to her. That’s the best part!

This is a close-up of the stitch…

I think I’m going to cast on for another booga bag. We have to travel this weekend, so it will be mindless knitting for the car ride. I would also like to cast on the the Lacy Bamboo Jacket with the yarn I bought in Vegas. I’ll post pictures…stay tuned!

Gifts for AuburnChick

AuburnChick does not have many close friends. Life is so busy that there just does not seem to be enough time to maintain close relationships with people.

BUT, the ones she does have are truly dear.

One of her friends (the one who made her a Key Lime Pie while she was in the midst of studying for finals) went on a trip with her husband. Yesterday at work (they work for the same company), AuburnChick’s friend summoned her down to her office. Look what was waiting for AuburnChick:

She said this was a graduation gift, but AuburnChick knows she would have gotten her something anyway. She’s such a sweetie!

So then, as AuburnChick made her toward the door to leave, she stopped by another friend’s desk to show off her gift. Well, her other friend proceeded to hand AuburnChick an envelope that contained something that rattled! “Eh, what’s that??” she wondered.

She ripped open the envelope to reveal the cutest card she’s ever seen! And placed inside were the following items:

AuburnChick is truly blessed to have such wonderful friends!
