Day 2 - Christmas Scarf

Glitter Yarn and size H crochet hook







Detail Shot of Flowers









Today's creation is a Christmas-y scarf. As I was making it, I remembered my first battle with depression when I was 13 and how Christmas -- and specifically Christmas music -- brought me out of it. It's another example of serendipity. I chose this yarn this morning because I was thinking I'd knock out a Christmas present. I wasn't expecting the trip down memory lane or the way that the nip in the air outside would feel like Christmas today. I even started humming "It's Beginning to Look a Lot like Christmas" -- which it really isn't (does it ever look like Christmas in San Diego?), but Christmas is dawning in my heart.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas;
Soon the bells will start,
And the thing that will make them ring is the carol that you sing
Right within your heart.
--- Meredith Willson
