birthday project

although i haven't finished the hats for my boys (i am kind of stuck and need to run to my LYS for some help!) i have begun a scarf for my sister-in-law's birthday. i purchased weekend knitting by melissa fallick (recommended by soule mama) and chose the modern, long & skinny scarf. i am using a lovely bamboo/wool yarn in a grayish lavender hue. [stitch nation by debbie stoller 'bamboo ewe' color: mercury] i changed up the pattern up a bit since the yarn is not as big as the recommended. so i CO 14 stitches. but it looks gorgeous and it will totally be perfect for laura, who lives in a very hip part of brooklyn. i am so excited to send it to her. i think i will slip in a good book and some lovely tea and maybe these earrings.
