Sometime during the month of December, my son was turned loose in Yarn Garden to find me a Christmas present.  My husband is raising a son that is not intimidated by yarn stores. Aaah, bliss. Well, Laserman did a fine job. He bought 2 balls of Rowan Kid Classic, which thrilled me to pieces. I cast on immediately and here’s what came off the needles last week:

It’s a feather and fan motif knit over 38 stitches, on size 6 needles. It’s already stretching, so it’s dimensions are approximately 7″ by 90″….growing by the minute, but I love it nonetheless. It was sort of Christmas and Valentine’s Day all rolled up into one.

Speaking of Valentine’s Day….darling husband likes his socks so much he bought me Cat Bordhi’s New Pathways for Sock Knitters. Throw in some cupcakes from the best bakery on the planet, and you might say the day was a good one
