This project is very straight forward and easy but will be long, 2 1/2 metres long. I am making this for Bel. Can you tell what the colours are for???? My little baby Bel is going to Western Australia on the 24th of September to stay with family for 2 weeks holiday. Zoe went when she was 10 and now it's Bel's turn.
I feel very anxious and miss her already. When Zoe went I was fine until she got on the plane then I fell apart and wondered what were we thinking. But of course she had a wonderful time and was not homesick at all and I know Bel will be the same. Maybe my nerves are more shot 6 years later and I am not happy unless I am worrying about something (quoting my mum for years, then my husband).
Anyway, this scarf is to be taken to Perth apparently, so I am knitting as much as I can each day which isn't a great deal before pain sets in but I am sure it will get finished. I have done about a third so far, and it has to be very long, just because these ones are!
I have a few other little things planned to make before the trip too.
happy weekend xx
post edit: yes of course the scarf is Harry Potter's scarf for Gryffindor House

It's very therapeutic to have a mindless knitting project on the go. I always have one. As for worrying about things, it's only natural when it's your flesh and blood.
I started plain socks today because everything else I have is too big or too complicated to knit whilst watching Season 5 of SG Atlantis!!!
Well done with the scarf: HP by any chance???!!!
I have a similar situation coming up - it is hard work. I miss my pirate more than he misses me it seems. He is too busy playing to be sad
Reminds me of a conversation I had with my therapist after I had PND- I said I was worried because my mum was always telling me I worry too much, and he said that it was normal for mothers to worry and that I worried within a normal range so there was no need to worry about what my mum said :)
GRYFFINDOR!!!!!!
Or, she could be a Subiaco supporter, given that she is coming to Perth at the end of footy season and those are the Subi colours (our local team).
They usually cope very well on a plane by themeselves. Its only the Mums who cry (I know from experience)
It is always hard but she will have such a memorable and wonderful time-good luck with the rest of the scarf-it is sure a long one
Great scarf! I am sure your daughter will have a great time when she is over here! I know when my son went away earlier in the year I was relieved to hear him sounding so happy each night when he called home.
