Happy Valentine's Day

Sorry I haven't been around this last week. I have been down and out sick! It came on suddenly Thursday night. I just started coughing and couldn't stop and it just got worse from there. Of course, flying down to Florida over the weekend for my fahter's birthday didn't help any. Two plane rides later and Sunday night I just wanted someone to bury me. I haven't been this sick in a long time. I mean so sick and weak that I couldn't open a bottle of water! Knitting even seemed tiring to me! I am happy to say that I'm finally starting to feel better. My fever is all gone and my head is starting to clear up. There is hope!

I did want to wish you all a Happy Love Day!!

First Cable project

Here is my first completed project with the cable stitches! The pattern is the Reversible Cable Scarf off the Lion Brand website. I used this neat yarn that I found at the LYS called Lana Grossa Bingo. First time I have worked with this yarn and I really like it! Might have to take a trip back and see what other colors they have and find something to make for myself :) The patterns was suprisingly easy to follow and had it memorized after about 2-3 repeats. It was great!

The scarf is going to be a Valentine's Day gift for my BF. Now I just need to wrap it up and ship it off to him so that he will get it in time :) especially with the weather he's been enduring in Chicago!
