My dear sweet Nana used to party pretty hard when she was a young and flirty 20/30-something. Even after she had her children she would love to go out and have a few drinks with her friends and listen to live jazz. As an impressionable teen, I remember watching her slurp down those favorite vodka martinis and bat her eyes at the barkeep: "And I like it dry, *very* dry" - which of course translates to a straight up vodka shot camouflaged by a prettier glass with an olive. Nana and I always agreed on booze, food and music.
Mom said that when she was a kid, on Saturdays or Sundays Nana would occasionally be stuck in bed with "a touch of the flu" following these wild nights with her friends. So it seems that today, I too have 'a touch of the flu' after last night's dinner and drinking incident. I, however, managed to get out of bed and photograph my latest finished project.
It's from Sheep in the City's My So Called Scarf pattern. I used one skein of Mountain Colors Mountain Goat yarn in Steel Blue. The yarn is pretty and soft but I noticed that it was breaking in a few places. Nana would have loved it. =)

OH, WOW - really like the scarf - and LOVE the Nana "yarn". I've heard of two-fisted drinkers; but knitting AND drinking at once - now, that is talent.

The scarf looks great! It's a nice stitch pattern that still lays flat. I assume you'll be wearing it next time I see you.
ok.. I have to admit that this post totally brought tears to my eyes (yes, I cry easily I know). Of course, I miss Nana :) What a nice story. Oh... love the scarf too!
