He's 30 years old today!!! Finished just in time. I gave them to him last night and he liked them!
It took me a long while to get my head around to knit the gloves, they are so DIFFICULT to knit if you're not going to sew on the thumb but I invented something new for myself to make that seamless look! A funny fact: the number of stitches I used for the scarf is 30 for the width. I don't know how many I used for the length...I just played by ear for that, also the gloves are a 30 stitch circle! I don't know, thought that might be funny....I forgot to tell him that though!
Happy 30th Birthday Vince!!!

I like the pattern -- it gives the scarf body and volume. It looks soft and lovely. Congrats on the great work!
Gosh, your getting great at this Knitting thing... I need to get a side project. Must be very theraputic.
Thanks Mousecanknit - I made my first proper glove a few days ago...tried knitting the left hand, just to find out I can only knit right ones LOL
Yeah Sandra, knitting is kinda cool cause when you're watchin tv or just sitting round I find I can just do it, i like to keep busy anyway, so knitting is useful, I get clothes out of it! :-)
Hey Tim, very impressed with the knitting, especially considering you taught yourself. Like the scarf pattern - I'm actually knitting a baby hoody with the same checkered pattern, it makes for a really nice finish.
Can you knit me a balaclava? ...no reason.....ahem :-/
Grainne, thanks for the encouragement. Well, you did teach me a few tricks, you have to teach me a few more things when your back!
