Somehow the making, the working, the dog-refereeing , the holiday cheer, and well, life , edged out the blogging lately.

Sister Lulu's granny square scarf request for chanukah was met. Her parameters: the colors in a photo of heirloom radishes she sent me, and "burgundy, and grey--menswear palette, please".
All except the purple are Mission Falls 1824 Superwash Wool (colors 011, 015, 028 with 010 edging it all), and the (slightly heathery) purple is Berroco Ultra Alpaca. Great yarns both, but in my very limited granny square experience, the singles I used on this last crochet project were easier to crochet than these plied yarns. Splitty crocheter that I am.
Most importantly, Lulu was happy with it. I've seen her wearing it at least 5 times since then, so I know she means it, too.
