I know I've knit this before but I needed a quick easy knit to do before we went away on vacation. We're going to be spending a few days with my cousin and her family in Massachusetts and I wanted to make something for her and her daughter, who looks exactly like her. What better than two Misti Ribs & Ruffles scarves done with alpaca? The second picture gives you more of an idea of the color but in truth it's more of a celery color and really lovely. This is such a nice knit and I did one per day so it was quick.
I've packed three different sock projects, a couple of knitting books and my kindle. I should have enough to keep me busy for two weeks. I've decided I want to do more reading about knitting instead of just looking at the pictures in the books. I guess I'm growing up. Somewhat.
My one year blogiversary will come and go while we're away so I'll do something fun to celebrate when I get back. I smell a giveaway!

Friday must be alliteration day for us knitbloggers! My post today is all about the 'F'.
Thanks for the visit on yesterday's post, & special thx for the comment & compliment on my socks! I like your Boradripples. (That sounds naughty, somehow.)
Ta!
I love a good, mindless vacation knit. Well, not exactly mindless, but a lack of charts is good for the knitting soul from time to time!
those are cute scarves and even if they were easy the idea that you could knock them out in two days is impressiv!
Just randomly found your blog...I'm a knitter and a New Yorker too. I'm very novice knitter and looking to improve. I hope to take some classes in the fall! Love your blog! These scarves are gorgeous!
those are beautiful!! your cousin and her daughter are very lucky!! They look like that thick, yummy sort of warm scarf... especially if they're made with alpaca! I just might look up how to do that so I can fiddle with my own mindless-knit, yummy gifts this christmas :)
My mom recently switched me back on to knitting and I can't believe how rusty I am! I got very frustrated at first but am now back in the groove!
P.S. I found your blog on the BloggersChoiceAwards website and think it is great! I voted for you, I write for the Our Everyday Earth - Green Blog and wondered if you would vote for us in the best Education blog category;

Thanks in advance :)
Isn't it neat to be able to pull together a lovely gift so quickly? It is a lovely color and I'm sure they will love it.
Have a great time on your vacation. Look forward to having you safely back.
