Last year, at the end of July, was my friend Josie L.'s birthday.  I started a scarf for her the week before her birthday, and then somehow stopped knitting it when I was halfway through. (The pattern is Wisp by Cheryl Niamath.) I finally finished the scarf about a month ago, and then it languished in my project basket for a hot minute before I finally blocked it two weeks ago. LOL! After blocking, it took a brief nap in my project basket again before I finally photographed it today! So, here is the scarf that's taken me more than half a year to complete. Shame on you Denise, Shame on you!!

I made this scarf for my dear friend Lauren K. after she saw the one I made for Seyram. It's also using the Multidirectional Diagonal Scarf pattern by Karen Baumer.

UPDATED 1/17/2012 : I've uploaded a pdf of this pattern onto Ravelry. You can also download the pdf here:  Berry Lacey Scarf . This pattern is not totally original.

My friend Christelle saw the wristers I had made for Stacey D. and wanted a pair in brown but with pink trim. I didn't think they would come out nicely but they are beautiful! Once again, Malabrigo's Silky Merino was a dream to work with. I really, really love this yarn. The pattern for the Salad Wristers is by Alexandra Tinsley. It's also available on Ravelry.com.  :)
