My creative muse has been on an extended vacation while I attended to family things and Christmas preparations. I couldn't show what I was working on because some of them were for Christmas gifts and I didn't want to spoil the surprise. But for starters, here is the first scarf I did for Deni, my first daughter. It was my first attempt at knitting a "lace" pattern and was quite a challenge for a novice knitter, believe me!
I was so thrilled with the success of Deni's scarf, I chose another lace pattern for a scarf for daughter #2, Lisa. This one is an alpaca yarn and yummy to work with!
I just discovered that I don't have a photo of the third scarf I did for my daughter-in-law! Drat!! It's in a lovely eggplant alpaca yarn in yet a different lace pattern. I was very pleased with the way they all turned out, and I'm currently working on two new scarves for myself! Narrower scarves this time, in easier patterns!!! Photos of those later when they get done!

I was delighted to find an update for your blog when I checked my Blogline account! The scarves you are creating are truly gorgeous and I know the recipients surely loved such lovely gifts.
Wow - those are truly divine - love the lace patterns. I asked Santa for a class gift certificate from the yarn store so I could learn to knit but I didn't get one :(b
