Remember how we've just moved Grandma into her new pad? I have a big envelope of photos, which I've begun to go through. And I'm realizing a few of the pics are begging to be shared here.Proof my path was decided long ago.
So, Maya's J.Crew knockoff scarf above. And photos I found below.
I remember loving that poncho set. With it's multi pointed beret.
My sister got this lovely cardigan in red, with the blue scarf tied around her hood. We had a lot of reverse color coordinated sets like this.

Since I was also entirely amused to see the shots below.
My parents not only took them, and saved them, but apparently gave them to Grandma. There are a few more in this series as well, but again I edited to spare you.
(I totally remember these wine bottles with the straw on them -- My dad would melt the candles with all the different colored drips and save them. He also had a collection of the liquor containers shaped like things -- bullfighters, cars, windmills, etc. Anyone else remember those? We played with them sometimes till we broke the propeller off the Spirit of St Louis airplane. And the Metaxa bull lost a horn. Big trouble.)

Anyhoo, looks like both the knitting and the cocktails were encouraged early.
Am hoping my parents are so proud with my accomplishments to date.

And in the spirit of the new year, I'll start you off with both.
The J. Crew scarf is written up and will be posted for free as soon as I finish it. It's such a simple pattern, I'm not thinking much test knitting will be necessary.
As for the photo above, we're having a few friends over tomorrow night and this is the cocktail I'll be making early in the evening. It's called a Northern Light, and it's super tasty.
1 oz pear nectar
1 tsp creme de cassis (or cassis liqueur)
1/2 cup chilled champagne
Combine in shaker with ice. Stir till shaker is frosty on outside. Strain and serve.

Wishing you all many lovely knits and tasty drinks in 2010!
