the very first blakely cowl

am i surprised in the slightest that the cranberry color has been extremely popular among orders in the last couple of days? nope, not one bit, seeing how it is so close to christmas. so i thought i'd tell you all the grand story of the very first blakely cowl...

once upon a time.... just kidding, had you going there for a second didn't i?! ha! ok, really, i do have a story but that's not how i'm going to start it.
*ahem* one friday night, (which is date night for ryan & i) we were heading to our local mexican restaurant for some damn tasty food. the weather was cold, it was around this time last year and i didn't have a red scarf to wear. but i had some cranberry colored yarn...

*light blub*... so i made one. yes, before we left for dinner! and i wore that thing so proudly... ryan of course, liked it too. if we only knew then what that ONE scarf would lead to! seems like our dates nights lately consist of him cooking while i'm sitting in my usual spot on the couch crocheting furiously.

would you like to know where that very first blakely cowl in cranberry is this very second? i know you're dying to know!


it is in fact our tree skirt this year. exactly what it had invisioned for itself once it turned one year old...

awww... the memories
