Hello folks and, welcome into 2020 with another FO Friday!  This was frantic Christmas/Gift knitting -- I got a respite on the deadline, because I was ill and couldn't give this in person (which, I definitely needed!)  It's a variation of the *MacAskill Scarf, with the ends sewn together (at my gift-ee's request) to make an infinity scarf!

A grey knit scarf folded on top of itself.  The scarf is cabled with a celtic-knot style pattern, and has a seed-stitch border.
And my apologies for the not-so-great photo. I didn't really have a lot of time to get a good photo, but wanted to get one before it went off to it's new home.

Anyway, yarn is very deep stash that has since become separated from it's ball band. I -think- it's a 25% acrylic /75 % wool blend (I have other balls that are very similar that are), but I'm not 100% sure.  I held it double to get the right yarn weight, and I think it worked out well! 

Needles are an old pair of 5.5 mm Aero straight needles -- I'm one of those odd souls who actually likes working on straight needles!

Well, not only did I get some gift-knitting done, I managed to stash-bust, too!  How have other folks started their crafting in 2020 -- I'd love to hear your adventures (or your goals) in the comments!
