I finished my Scarf for this years Red Scarf Project. Well this Autumn's Red Scarf Project as it's not really 2008 yet. Either way it's fantabulous and benefits the Orphan Foundation of America. :D
Just think some College kid will receive my handknit scarf as modeled by the lovely George here. George is as high fashion as it gets, Baby! Clickety Biggety!
George was petting TKK when I took this photo. (Yes, the scarf was washed after it touched the kitty.) TKK said she wanted to be in the photo, but you know how models and their egos can be. So we had to take another photo of her without George or the scarf to show off just how vivacious and fuzzy she is. Truly the cutest kitty ever.
She knows how to work the camera. That and she was trying to lick it. :P
Some details on the scarf:
Cast On: August 17, 2007
Cast Off: September 21, 2007
Pattern: My Own "Not a Real Pattern Pattern" - Simple Alternating sections of Garter, Seed & Basket Weave
Yarn: Universal Yarn from the Moods line color 1505 - It's a Worsted Weight Wool/Acrylic blend that has colors that blend between Red and Black. - I had two balls of the yarn when I started and I still have 3/4 of one of them. I'll use that to make Hats for the Charity Box at Deluxe Yarns for the local homeless & needy.
Yardage: 247 yards
Yarn Source: Deluxe Yarns
Needles: Clover Takumi - US 10.5 / 6.5mm 16" Circular
Again? YES! It was a fun easy knit and the honey liked it so he'll likely get one in the Blue and Black Colorway. :D Nothing like some mindless knitting to make you all nice and relaxed when things are kinda stressy.
Notes: This was my first Completed Scarf using Garter Stitch as more than a border. *L* The scarf is 6 feet long and 5.5 inches wide. This scarf was started with some friends when I was too brain dead to knit on the socks I had with me at the time. It's been knit on in four states and through several drinks and travels. Heh.
Random Observation: It just occurred to me that George kinda looks like Jerri Blank's Father, Guy.

I'm glad I finished the scarf in time. Now I just need to get a gift certificate, write a note and care instructions and mail it off.
In other news I finished another pair of socks... *happy dance*
Wow, you're on a posting frenzy!!!
And nice scarf, too. I like the color changes in it. And, of course, TKK is adorable as ever.She only wants to lick the camera because you were holding it. **kisses**
But George? I thought that was two photos of him before you said it was Guy. Who knew???
Socks? Got pics?

Are you doing the happy dance in your new socks? It doesn't count if you're not! *g*
Nice scarf -- George looks quite fetching in it.

You're SO RIGHT about George and Guy!
I love your scarf, and love the idea of the crazy no-pattern. Awesome!

When I saw your post I was like, "OMG she took pictures of my cat?"
Have we discussed the cat similarity before? It seems like we have already had this conversation, but my mind is a bit mushy today.
