The knit kits are here!

Morehouse Merino makes very nice knitting kits that are suitable for beginning knitters (and for anyone who likes quirky scarves)

The Fish School Scarf is for my sister-in-law R, but when she chose the Caribbean colorway, I don't think she realized how *bright* it would be. It's going to have a lot of red because the varigated yarn seems to be the FantaSea colorway, which I can only hope is either okay or gets muted when knit against the aqua solid.

The Gator Mitts are going to compliment the Baby Alligator Scarf I made gblvr's niece last year. The yarn is not *exactly* the same color, because I made the scarf with Malabrigo in lavender, but it's only available as a kit, so periwinkle Gator Yarn was what I chose.

The Fishbone Scarf is very simple, and won't look too quirky when worn. If I have time to finish it, it might go to gblvr's sister or one of my aunts.

The RatRace Scarf is adorably geeky, and its going to my brother. I hope he wears it to work, because AMD is the kind of place where geekdom is appreciated.

Now I just have to decide which one to start first...

Those are all adorable. What a great gift to give.

The nice thing is that the scarves are dead easy -- all garter stitch variations.

Those patterns are all outstanding. The Fish School Scarf particularly cracks me up.
