Dad's Birthday Scarf
Looking familiar? Remember Angie's iPod cosie? Laurie Perry's Magic Scarf. This is a present for my Dad's birthday tomorrow he will be 63. This is really unpractical of gift for him. We're living in Singapore and I knitted him a woolen scarf. But I think he might like it when he decides to travel to somewhere cold...

This lavender knitted Isabeau Bag is for Pynk! This is significantly
larger than the little purse I did 2 months
ago so I am a little surprised I managed to complete it in 2
weeks.The reason for the rush to complete this is because this is
also meant to be a belated birthday present for my dear cousin whom
I haven't seen in months because we had a falling out and so this
is also my way of a peace offering. I don't actually know if she
will use this because she usually partial to backpacks... but it's
100% made my me and so she had better use it at least once.
*Heehee!*
While completing this I was noticing
how it was falling in on itself so in bag-lining planning stage I
decided to use iron-on interfacing to help give the bag more
structure and I am happy to report it isn't as slouchy as it
would've been. Though I was a little worried if the interfacing
would make it too stiff... but actually it is looking and feeling
okay.
Some details I need to admit... I wasn't a very obedient pattern
follower with this project... I blame streaming TV for my lack of
attention to certain parts where I should have been counting my
rows and so some parts are longer than they need to among other
itty-bitty inaccuracies.
Happy Belated Birthday Pynk!!
My next project.... is likely to be made with a sewing
machine!
The uexpected prize and the unexpected iPod cosie
In my previous post I ended off saying that I was going to knit a
scarf for my friend Angie who is going to be relocating to
Shanghai. I started knitting her scarf yesterday and was quite
pleased with how it was beginning to look. This morning Caryne
tells me that she found out that Angie doesn't wear scarves or
beanies! And I'm not smart enough to knit gloves yet! The
dramaz...
I did recall though that the other girls bought her a new iPod so I
thought... Ok... I will convert the scarf into a cosie! It fits
perfectly! Feelng quite relieved and pleased that it worked out in
the end. All that's left is to give this to Angie in all her
Babarella glory! The pattern is just a really short version of
The Magic Scarf by Laurie Perry The
yarn used is Jaeger , Extra Fine Merino DK in Indigo.
So what this means now of course... I need to get back to the
crocheted bag.
