This wasn't necessarily a Christmas gift. Its for my best friend, whom I've known since we were six. Her blog alias, Miss Virgilia (does anyone recognize the 80's mini-series reference that we were obsessed with as um....12-year-olds? I think...). I used to call her Virgilia because her hair reminded me of that particular character's hair. Anyways, last year, when I realized that my best friends each had maybe one or two handknit items from me, and they were from my early scarf-knitting days, years ago, I promised to stop knitting gifts for people who wouldn't appreciate them and start knitting more for those who I knew would (aka my friends! See, the thing is, as we all got older, my close friends and I decided we didn't need to exchange gifts anymore...I digress.). Virgilia is going to Dental School in Denver so last spring I sent her the MMMMMMalabrigo scarf and I finally got a picture of her in it when she was home at Christmas.
And now she'll have a new hat to go with her scarf.
Yarn: Malabrigo Chunky, color Mountain Spirit
Notes: Love this quick knit! There will be a few more of these knit up soon I think.
Off to ring in the new year with Little Guy and the family!
Happy New Year!!
