Next on my list, my so-called scarf and giraffe inspired hat, scarf and mitten set for my nephew, all Xmas presents!

Here's my baby, all snuggled up for a rainy day of napping. . . Quite the life.










My ideal lace knitting conditions:

I found that I did better knitting with no one else disturbing me. I was able to have the t.v. on in the background, but as long as no one was interrupting me, I could keep track of my stitch repeats. I read the pattern from the written instructions because it was a simple one, but I enlarged the copy so that I could read it easily and it also helps me to keep a post-it note below the line that I am working on. And of course like the rest of my knitting, I positioned myself in the corner of my comfy couch!
