A lotta pink ...

This is one skein Silk Rhapsody, and 45 minutes later, I've got this wound ball. It almost didn't make it! It was so tangled up (doesn't look like it in the above picture, but the skein was pretty messed up somewhere in there). I had to muster all my patience to get it done right, since I couldn't afford to loose even one inch of it.

Because...

My mom has a friend. She is blind. Mrs. M got to touch my mom's Diamond Chevron Scarf I made for her, and she thought it was wonderful. My mom's a good friend. She asked me to get some Silk Rhapsody in either blue or pink colors. So I did. I would have chosen blue, but there weren't any. I bought it at Little Knits to an introductory prize, which was great. Pink is NOT my color and seeing the skein, I was not too impressed. It grew on me though.

At first I was pissed because of the pooling going on. As I knit on however, the pooling appeared to have it's own method and showed up in an orderly pooling fashion. Suddenly I LIKED it!

From the time I cast on for this scarf I thought it reminded me of Hubba Bubba bubble gum. There's a factory around here somewhere, and it smells of bubble gum, whenever we drive by it. I don't chew it, but I like the smell. (The gum in the picture is NOT Hubba Bubba, because I couldn't find any , ha!)

I hope my mom and her friend like the scarf. I'm going to wrap it up now and send it off on it's journey to Europe.
