Knitter’s Festivus

Last week I told you all about the Knitter’s Festivus Miracle Swap. We had a lovely dinner, lots of fun exchanging gifts, and I had included photos of the FO I gifted to Kyrsten. I have been amiss about posting photos from the dinner as well as my gift from Shelby! Better late than never…..

Shelby knit me this incredibly long scarf (can wrap 3 times around my neck) out of Cascade 220 (I think). I was knitting a secret Christmas gift with Cascade 220 and I swear it is the same colourway! And that is some lovely Scottish Breakfast Tea, I’ve only tried English Breakfast so I have been enjoying this in the mornings.

Here’s a stitch close-up for the knitter’s out there.

And some lovely photos from the dinner:

    Beautiful!! Now, tell me about Scottish Breakfast Tea… I’m thinking it’s brisker (more brisk??) and more robust?

    Beautiful scarf. Do you know what pattern she used?

    Nice scarf! I dodn’t recognize the stitch pattern but its really nice. It looks really warm, which is great for the recent weather we’ve been having.
    PS. The pink gloves you commented on are not new. I deleted a pic that wasnt linked properly and I guess ravelry showed the mitts are new? Weird!
