Happy Thursday Everyone! it's partly sunny (if you're an optimist) or partly cloudy (if you're a pessimist). The temperature is hovering around the freezing mark and I doubt it will get any warmer as the day goes on.
When my granddaughter was out Christmas shopping she bought me a few skeins of yarn she thought I would like. I was so excited because she was right...it was a very pretty ombre in grays and blues.
The other day she asked me if I had decided what to make with the yarn she gave me. I didn't have anything specific in mind and she said it would make a beautiful scarf. (hint hint)
She is going back to college in a few weeks and asked if I would consider using it to make her a scarf. 
Although she lives off campus she still has a bit of a distance to walk to her classes and probably could use a nice warm scarf for those walks.
I'm going to start it today and she'll have it when she goes back.
She's just too funny and I should have known there was an ulterior motive when she brought me yarn that she liked and picked out.
So she bought me a gift that winds up being a gift for her!!
I really love that kid but she can't fool this old grandma.

She would have been disappointed if I had started another project with that yarn

The yarn is an ombre in blues and grays. It should look really pretty when it's done. I like ombre yarn because it has subtle changes in the colors and you don't have to stop one color and change to another if you use just solid color yarn.

How cute. I can just see her now bragging to her friends about her grandma making it for her.

I think it is sweet you'll make her a scarf with the yarn she bought for you at Christmastime.

At least she was well-intentioned and your don't mind doing that for her.
I used to enjoy crocheting but now my thumb joints would scream at me if I tried. Maybe once I quit working I can consider it again

That sounds like a wonderful gift from her to you to her. Enjoy making her scarf. She'll treasure it.
