FOs

I admit I've been completely lax in updating my FOs now that Ravelry is around.

Here's a quick run down of stuff I've finished lately.


1. Slippers
2. Cashmere Scarf
3. Shibori Scarf





4. Toy for Bug
5. Booties
6. Ice Pack Cover





7. Muffin Hat
8. Wristwarmers
9. Scarf

It's the final countdown!!

Two scarves down. One ballband down. One halfway done. Log Cabin almost done.

Now I just need to knit some hats and a few more ballbands. Not too shabby. I'm going to be up weird hours this week because Vince has a million papers to write and I'm trying to offer moral support by staying awake with him. Which might actually be distracting him more... Anyway, I'm going to go knit a few rows on a ballband.

Spazzy Scarf

I decided to knit a scarf late Friday afternoon. I plucked some random balls of crazy sparkly yarn out of the stash and set off.

3 strands held together + size 19 needles = fun & fast knitting.



I used some "vintage" Caron Dazzle Aire in Earth Glow (2 strands of that) and Light Rust (which is actually peach). It's from the Oma stash. I'm trying to do some major stash busting and this helped. I just kept knitting in 1x1 ribbing until I ran out of yarn. The scarf is huge, soft and fluffy. I really like the way it turned out and it didn't take all that long. Plus, the huge bamboo needles were a welcome vacation for my hands. I will definitely make some more of these to use up some more stash yarn. They will make great gifts.

Care Full

I have received so many nice gifts since I've been home sick. Thanks to everyone!!
