Anne didn't have much time to work on her gifts, so she had to move quickly. She decided to knit a scarf for Matthew. The idea came to her when she was going through Marilla's knitting basket and found a shade that exactly matched Matthew's eyes.
"Marilla, can I have this? I want to knit a scarf for Matthew for Christmas."
"It's so close to Christmas, do you think you'll be able to finish?" Marilla asked.
"I'll work on it night and day," Anne vowed.
"Day only, if you please. I don't need you staying up nights. I don't think you're getting enough sleep as it is. You've started to get circles around your eyes."
Anne pushed her braid behind her ears.
"Don't you think this color will look good on Matthew?" Anne asked, changing the subject.
