But here are two that are done.
Why yes. Those are another pair of Plucky Knitter's Cashmere Toasties. A gift for Snowboarder's sister. If you need a quick last-minute gift, this pair was knit up quickly on Monday. You can do it.
Now this gorgeous scarf. Don't be fooled. It will take forever to knit. Forever. Not a last-minute gift. I knew the only way this was going to be finished was if I made it a Christmas gift. I needed a deadline.
To be honest, it may have taken so long because about 50% of it was knit while I practiced lever knitting. The last 20% I was worried I was going too slow and just finished it the way I normally knit.
The pattern is the Gathered Scarf. The yarn is BMFA Peru and is sooooo lovely in the Rose Quartz colorway. One skein of gorgeousness. I was inspired by Maria's version here. I think Snowboarder's mom is going to love this.
Okay. Now to knit that boyfriend a Koolhaas.
Happy Holidays!!

You really did crank out those holiday knits! :)
Hope Santa brings you lots of yarn!
That is a lovely scarf. I'm off to google "lever knit."
Lovely knits! I've been knitting a lot too, just not blogging about it much. I loved the fact that you were the designer for the Courage kit from Woolgirl! You go girlfriend!
Happy Holidays to You!
I admire your living dangerously -- knitting up to the last minute! Good for you!
Ooh that scarf is stunning! I can almost feel the squishy softness just by looking at the pics. I'm sure she'll love it!
Oh, I love those little knits. The cashmere mitts look terribly comforting. We are on the brink of a huge snowstorm. I do have some scrumptious yarn. I wonder . . .
Happy holidays to you and yours. Enjoy the peace of the season.
Lovely knits and what is lever knitting?Hugs Darcy
Would Snowboarders family adopt me? I just want one of your holiday knits, of course - gorgeous!
Lovely on both! That scarf especially looks very warm and snuggly!
Love that scarf!!! The pattern looks like it could be transferred to other stuff too--very inspiring!
Peru is such a soft, soft yarn...
Lovely soft knits!! Yay for you! Merry Christmas! I'm off to crochet some face cloths...
I *think* I'm done. Stop tempting me with one more quick gift knit! I really need to start wrapping...
Merry Christmas!
Both projects came out beautifully. I have now queued up the scarf too. Very pretty.
Yay, for the finished scarf! I'm sure Snowboard Mom will love it.
And nice Toasties. One day I will make a pair since they're easy-peasy.
Such lovely holiday knits for your lucky family. You have a few more hours to finish the hat. You can do it. Knit on!
Merry Christmas Eve!
I love that scarf. Now I want to knit another one!!!
