The scarves made a brief appearance for a photo-shoot before being put away in the Christmas Present Stash. The pink I have mentioned before, it is the shortest of the three as I ran out of the angora yarn that I had in my stash and I had no hope of getting more - was a European purchase. :) The cream is actually a variation on the center panel from a knit-a-long that I haven't cast on. I have been saving the charts for when I have sufficient "nice" yarn to do it justice. The blue/turquoise was this weekend's hand occupier. It is done in a machine washable wool, which of course has also been discontinued since my purchase several years ago.
My daughter has a style all of her own, which usually involves wearing a tank top on top of a turtle neck. It is Lion Brand's Micro Spun and let me tell you it is a *itch to knit with - soft as silk when knitted, but it splits and slides off my needles every time it gets the chance. This is going to grow up to be an open sided vest to replace one of the tank tops she wears to school. It is an intensely cabled affair, with every stitch moving every fourth row, and four out of six stitches moving on the other right side row. I can't wait to be finished with this one !
Mystic Light starts in just a few short weeks - can't wait for that, even if I am behind in the other knit alongs that I joined. But hey, it's supposed to be fun.
On the food front, nothing good to say to you. Today I forced down some spinach, but nothing is inspiring me to eat much of anything right now. I am keeping up with the fluids and the vitamins though.
