Just Add a Bit of Bass
For Valentines Day, my knitting group exchanged "Secret Valentines".
My giftee was my friend Susan. She is a lover of the color pink.
It is a perfect color for a Valentine scarf.
DD#2 gladly modeled it in her own special way before I gave it to Susan.
DS kindly lent us his favorite bass.
Susan's Valentine Scarf
Pattern: My own
Main Color Yarn: Artyarns Supermerino; color #128 purchased at the Point
Ruffle Yarn: Claudia's Hand Painted Fingering; color Freesia
Needles: US 8 Addi Turbos
Oh, and the hat DD #2 is wearing is a gift for my friend Bob. He asked me to knit something for him. I went with the conservative, solid charcoal gray. The best part of the hat is how it feels. It's Rowan Cashsoft - heavenly.
My Sockret Pal has struck again. This time she sent the most decadent treats! MarieBelle Chocolates - Divine! Trust me when I tell you that they are as delicious as they are beautiful! Thank you once again, Pal!
Not to dork out too much on music, but that Rickenbacker bass? Lovely. It's my absolute fav electric bass ever. They've got such a terrific and unique sound. The Beatles used a Rickenbacker bass. I'm convinced it's part of their genius. And it makes model for such a beuatiful scarf.
Happy V-day!
