Warm winter wooly

Some of you are still with me! Thanks!
I've been trying my hand at a bit of knitting and crochet this winter. My mom loved to knit and crochet, and occasionally, tat. She could knit a sweater or baby outfit and read a book at the same time! I'm still a beginner, I can only knit straight so far. But its nice to sit with my hubby and knit while he watches poker on tv!
This scarf gets comments every time I wear it. It was so easy to do, and I've got another on the go, in a pretty metallic yarn. I'm also trying a knit version, because while crochet is easy and relaxing, I don't really like the look of it. It kind of looks "crafty" you know?

I'll be in and out of the blog for a while- I suffer from seasonal affective disorder, and this is one of my bad winters. A step or two past "blue" but not real depression. I'll be fine, but I'm counting the days til February when I usually come out of it.
See you again soon!

If you have a pattern for the crochet version of this, I'd love a copy of it!! I LOVE this scarf (and I don't knit!)

Hi Toni,

I'm still with you! Love the cards and love the scarf. I suffer from SAD as well. I bought one of those little light boxes at Costco a few years back and use it while getting ready in the mornings. Works well . . .

Toni;
Yes, please post your jewelry making and wooly creations.
I too have a SAD light that makes a world of difference; yet every winter I have a countdown running through my head.... "just x number of days until Valentines"... once we reach Feb. 14th then for me (because of the light coming back) the remainder of the winter proceeds quickly from there.
