The Gifted Gorgeousness SAL is organised by Jo of Serendipitous Stitching. On the 15th of each month we share some stitching that is in some way related to the idea of a gift. We made it as a gift, we received it as a gift, we made it using supplies that were a gift... you get the idea...
Anyway, here is my January GG piece. I received a coaster blank as a gift from Polly as part of the Needlecraft Haven Advent Exchange, so that definitely counts right?
And what would a good little Trekker like me want on a coaster but this?
The chart for the com badge is by Starrley, I found it on Deviant Art here, and added the text myself.
Also fitting nicely into the theme, here is the progress so far on the scarf I'm knitting from the lovey hand-dyed sock wool Eloise gave me for Christmas
The pattern is called Knit Night. It's by Louise Zass-Bangham and can be found on Ravelry. It doesn't show very well being bunched up on circular needles but it will eventually be a long narrow picot-edged triangular shape. I decided not to do the beaded edge version because I didn't have any suitable beads to hand, and I was impatient to get started. Maybe another time.
Be sure and check out all the other blogs in the SAL, there is a linky list on Jo's blog

LOL the coaster, so you!
Love the way the scarf is knitting up. I've never used a round needle, something I need to rectify and try.
A lovely coaster. Those are beautiful colours in your wool.
Loving the scarf, wishing I could knit properly!
Super coaster.
Well done, Christine.....got to get my post up. Need to look up the pattern as well, looking gorgeous
Lovely starts and progress ")
Great colours in your gifted yarn. The scarf is shaping up well.
Love the coaster! What pretty yarn ... the scarf will be a beauty.
What funny coaster, great work! Your scarf also looks lovely, looking forward to seeing it finished.
Fabulous use of both your gifts. Love the colours of you scarf.
Great coaster, very you! Lovely scarf too
This coaster is absolutely great, with the text you added. My DS would be thrilled with it, lol. And also a wooly gift included in this SAL. Great!
Wow, I recognize that pattern (Starrley is on Sprite Stitch), clever adaption of it! :D Your hank hand-dyed wool is very patriotic~ Maybe this will be the year I learn to knit. Maybe.
Lovely, well done!
Evalina, This and that...
that coaster is BRILLIANT!
I love the knitting project too, great great job!
Thanks for taking part in GG this month.
The coaster is such a fun design. I bought a clam-shell mobile phone just so I could pretend to be on Star Trek.
Gorgeous colours in the scarf too.
great coaster, and your scarf is going to be beautiful! I wish I could knit, but don't need any more new hobbies. :-)
Love your coaster!! Perfect stitching for a coaster!
