Christmas Knitting Update - 3 Gifts Complete

I just finished Lauren's checkerboard scarf in Rich Red Mountain Colors. What a joy to knit. Great pattern and great yarn. I would work with both again. I'll block it tonight and take pictures tomorrow.

I bought three skeins of Malabrigo in pink for a scarf for Julie. I may not use all three skeins, but I wanted to be sure I had plenty. Maybe I'll get a little something for myself out of the deal:-)

I'm still debating what to do for Madonna. Madonna mentioned she likes red, blue and green. I've toying with the idea of the blue Wollmeise. She is worthy of that yarn, but she is also worthy of Malabrigo and I have a beautiful skein of sock yarn. Not necessarily the colors she says she likes, but pretty just the same. I think the Malabrigo might be softer. Still trying to figure it out.

I figure Brett's red herring scarf will be last. If I can get the other knitting done by Thanksgiving, then I will buy the yarn to make his scarf.

After Brett's scarf, comes DS stulpens in the purple Louet Gems.

I also have Adrienne's clogs cast on and one sole finished. Probably I can finish them this weekend if I don't start somthing else, but I would love to cast on a scarf for Madonna and keep my momentum going.
