Reversible Cable Shawl / Scarf

Yeah. I finished a project before class! I even have the pattern done. I really had fun making this. I want to make it in something drapey and have it be more shawl-like but c'est le vie. This is Cascade 220.

So far I have not been a very good blogger...I really keep trying but I just can't get up before 6 am...I don't know why I suddenly need so much sleep.

In fact, I seem behind in everything...I haven't even opened Christmas cards up yet. :(

DECEMBER GOALS
• Finish shrug - done - pattern is done too
• Finish penguin - done - recipient liked it, said he had character
• Finish sheep - not done - my son has given me 'til Imbolic
• Work on crochet class I, II, III - 1 is totally done and I've taught it once
• Write up shrug pattern - see above
• Work up reversible cable class - done - that's why I'm posting

Since Jan is already a good way in, I'll be easy on myself.

JANUARY GOALS
* work on sheep
* work on clapotis for Bridget
* Finish dishcloth (this pattern is giving me all kinds of trouble - but I really want to figure it out and get it to Indigo)
* finish intermediate class in crochet
* start a simple tank top to go with shrug
* start poncho for Spring Fair

I didn't do too bad in Dec all things considered.

I hope everyone has a happy and safe weekend. Happy crafting,

Lovely scarf! Yes, we miss you, get UP you sleepy-head!! :)
No, I'll cut you some slack - if your body says "sleep" you undoubtedly need it, hon!

Post when you can...but email me oftener?
;)

That scarf is just gorgeous! Where did you get the pattern?

Could be that touch of Seasonal Affective Disorder that Mom and I seem to have. Lately I feel like there is no such thing as enough sleep...not that I am sleeping well to begin with, but you get the idea.

And hey, you didn't show me the lace shawl you made from Lavish Lace! I'm so proud that you completed something you once found so intimidating! ...and that goes for the reversible cables, too!

I love the cabled scarf! It looks great. I hope your class goes well.
