Holiday Knitting

This is a shawl I'm making, from Cascade Epiphany. I have completed one and a half iterations of the pattern, going for ten complete iterations of it. It is the Upstairs pattern from Ravelry. I found out this weekend that Cascade has discontinued Epiphany, which is really too bad, because it is so sensuous. It is, or rather was, expensive, but still, so beautiful, and I'm really enjoying how it knits up.

This is, of course, unblocked, but it gives a good idea of how it will look when it is done.

I have also started a new Noro Striped Scarf, even though I said I wouldn't. A friend has asked me to make one for her, after seeing the last one I made, and the conversation ran like this:

She: This is really beautiful.

Me: Do you want me to make you one?

She: I don't really wear scarves all that much. But this is really beautiful

Me: Do you want me to make you one?

She: No, I still have the first scarf you made for me, but wow, this is really beautiful.

Me: Do you want me to make you one?

She:      Yes.

I've started it, and gotten about seven inches of knitting done.

I'm currently knitting with the two skeins on the right, and will add the ones on the left as the others run out. There is some purple in skein B, and a lot of purple in skein C, which ties them together. And there is some bits of purple in the Skeins A, so it should work nicely all together.

I hope.
