Some Knitting

so i'm not one to do christmas knitting because i think that's just craziness.  but i will birthday knit and this year i decided to knit my mother-in-law a scarf.  i know, brave.  i had some pretty deep burgundy alpaca in the stash and initially planned on knitting her the quivet webs scarf (without the quivet) from the interweave holiday 2007 issue.  yeah that wasn't going to work.  (and it wasn't a yarn issue).  so after wasting a day knitting and frogging and knitting and frogging, i punted and came up with something new.   in the end, i really am a simple girl.  if it's successful, i'll write up the pattern. 

i've also been working on a sock. 

yeah, the excitement never ends here.
