Relax & Unwind

There is nothing better than coming home from a days work and a long commute to a hot homemade meal and a glass of wine prepared by your amazing boyfriend. Dinner was rice and mixed vegetables, asparagus, and fish with a salad on the side as well as bread and our own creation of olive oil dip, and a glass of chilled pinot grigio. Of course presentation is everything and I made sure the dinner table was perfectly styled and in the right place to make the meal look that much more inviting. After dinner, I made my poor boyfriend tune into an episode of gossip girl while I knit the beginning of a scarf I would like to give away for the holidays. Knitting is a new hobby of mine, while a little frustrating because I add and subtract stitches as I go and often have to take a couple rows out at a time, I am becoming a lot faster and more comfortable with the needles. This pattern scarf consists of knitting two stitches, then purling two stitches creating a perfect ribbed effect. I couldn't think of a better way to come home after a days work and in the midst of cold winter, such a perfect way to unwind after a busy day.
