Rainy Monday

Woke up to rain, pouring rain.  On days like this, I like to hole up in my house, make a big pot of soup or stew, bake bread and knit or read.

Today I choose knitting.  I started a scarf for my fiance with yarn that he picked out when he was here.  So far, I'm enjoying it. :)

Knitting is relaxing and it's so cool when you finish a project and give it to it's intended. People usually ask me where I bought the item, be it a hat or a scarf or anything really.  I get such delight from telling them that I made it.  Usually they are shocked, unless they know me and know that knitting is just another one of the things I do.

So here's a photo of the unfinished scarf:

I think everyone should knit! Think of all the people you could impress with your handmade gifts?  Heck, you could make your own stuff and impress them with that too.

Well, it's time for me to get back to working on my scarf.  :)  I hope everyone has a great afternoon.
