a little bit of function...

My finished Bainbridge - for my mom. The picture is kind of crappy, my coat a little linty, it is below zero out there so no time for posing *heehee* bear with me... Good thing this scarf pattern provides a tutorial on how to tie it properly - it was a little interesting to get it to lay just how I like, finally the scarf won. I think the yarn fabric I have knit up is a bit too drapey for this project, but it so cozy in Sheep Shop - I think I would just double up next time. A Malabrigo on a bigger needle would produce a more rugged fabric and it would probably stand up a little nicer - but my mom ordered up teal and here it is. There are many examples over at Ravelry - I am so impressed with the different stitch patterns people chose - particularly this cabled one - I think this is definitely a keeper project - quick and dirty.



If everyone who reads this could just say a little prayer around oh, 5:30 central time tomorrow for the Green Bay Packers - Brett Favre really deserves a trip to the big show....Wisconsinites are kinda serious about their football. At least as serious as we are about leading a Jessica Simpson fan drive - sorry Tony.
