I finished my grandmother's scarf (to go along with her fuzzy-trimmed hat) while we were watching a couple movies last night. One of those movies I definitely don't recommend, but the other (Curse of the Golden Flower) was quite beautiful. I really enjoyed it.
Anyway, here is a close-up of the scarf and a picture of it with the matching hat...
The zig-zag pattern just fell into place when I started knitting with that variegated yarn. Go figure. The edges of the scarf are in seed stitch, then a couple vertical lines of stockinette, then the cables. I still think it looks a bit tacky, but it's not for me. It's for my grandmother who has pink walls and red carpet in her dining room.
I've corrupted Jason. He's spent years nay-saying all the Harry Potter lovers. He humbled himself today and asked if he could borrow my HP books. Ha! After I discussed the last book with him (which was a one-sided conversation since he's only seen the movies), he said he would like to read all the books. Looks like he wasn't joking.
