Knit therapy.

Another 2011 FO.  This is TGV (High Speed Knitting) by Susan Ashcroft.  A nifty crescent shaped shawlette.  The stretchy edge + garter ridge combo makes for a squishy hug if worn scarf-like around your neck.  I also liked that it's a modular pattern, allowing you to use whatever yarn weight and yardage you have on hand.  My Ravelry project page is here.  It was the perfect thing during down time, which I grudgingly had aplenty in November. 

I knit this during the height of my never-ending cold.  I was sort of a mess--when I look at the picture below I immediately think, wow, the meds sure made me loopy.  I truly hate taking medicine and try to avoid it.  Besides, the Merino/Cashmere/Silk yarn by Sublime helped the most, I think, as did working it up in soothing stripes.

We crafty-types never underestimate the power of luxury fibers, now do we?
