Anyway, I decided to start K2's scarf as I had a teacher handy over the Minicon weekend. She showed me how to purl and knit in the round. The purling was a necessary lesson as K2's scarf pattern was a ribbed scarf where I would be knitting two, purling two. The knitting in the round would be for K4's hat but I will be posting on that later.
This was a delightful and quick project. I did have to make a quick run back to the Yarnery the weekend following Minicon (I was down for a yoga workshop) as I realized I didn't have enough yarn to complete my project. One skein only gave me 2'. Eeep! I had also modified the pattern so her scarf would be 6" wide rather than 5". 5" was just a bit to narrow given the length of the overall scarf. Final length was about 5.5'.

You're done already? Goodness, you seem to be hooked. Tonight I am going to finish my first sock, and there will be much rejoicing. Then, of course, I'll have to start over and make the second one.
I was actually done with it about a month ago, but I just got around to posting it now. Kate's hat is done too, but I haven't started her scarf yet.
I mailed it to the sister last week at work as a surprise. :)
