While I was home last weekend, I went thru my crochet pattern a day calendar for the year 2007, and grabbed a few patterns that I thought would be good stash-busting scarves. I mean I can only make granny squares for so long. Scarves are useful after all.
one of the pattern was called, I just look pretty by Sara P Campbell. I tried to access her website, crochetallday.com, but it was unaccessable to me, so upon googling the website, I think I have located her new website and her ravelry SN... but she hasn't added that pattern so I'm not really sure it's her. Anyway...
I love the pattern so much that I've made 2 scarves already out of the Malabrigo Private seleccion, the weird purple yellow blue colored. One skein of it makes a sufficient length scarf, so I've made two.
I highly recommend the pattern for a quick one day scarf about 5-6 hours by my crochet time, if you need a quick gift this is definitely the way to go. this is my default gift scarf for the females of my family.
for some reason I'm having a panic about Chinese New Year gift knitting. I wasn't having the panic about Christmas knitting this year, since we're not a christmas celebrating family, but all of a sudden I was feeling that since I'm going to be seeing family members and I might want to give some knitted presents to some family member, so what about the ones that I haven't prepared for? Shouldn't I give them something too??
I was not even planning on making anyone anything for Chinese New Year... maybe i said I'd give a scarf for 2 of my cousin... and maybe Aunt May Lin, cuz I hang out with her a lot... and if I give something from Aunt May Lin, then I should give something to the youngest aunt, and then maybe her daughters might want ask for a yarn gift too, then i'm sure my aunt by marriage will be left out if i made everyone something and not her... so you see...
Chinese New Year Knitting panic... ergh. just breath... I am trying to not let it get to me... I'll just knit and get to it when I do. No guilty knitting. Yes, that is my motto, just repeat to self, and breath.
Breath.
