~Cable Basket Weave~

Remember that brown scarf I was crocheting? I was having problems with it and ended up tearing it out weeks ago. Then got preoccupied with other knitted things I wanted to make. Well, I pulled it back out and decided to try my hand at cables. I have never done them before and now I cannot believe I waited this long to teach myself! OMG, they are really cool. I only had two skiens of this natural alpaca, so I wanted to make the scarf kind fo fancy. I am giving this scarf to Michelle, my sister in law. It will go perfect with her new brown faux fur jacket.

I wanted to get it started so I can work on it while we drive up to Keystone to skit tomorrow. This will be my first time this season. I bought a ski pass, so I really need to be getting up there at least once a week now, before the season ends! I am excited to, cuz I love skiing! This will be first time with jus t me and Michelle, so that will be cool too! I am glad she doesn't mind me knitting on the way...heehee (at least it is for her. lol)

I would love to get some pictures of us on the mountain, but my new camera is HUGE..and my old pocket sized died on me. I will have to put that on my wish list for next years Christmas, I suppose.
