Ouch!

I think I sprained my index finger. It's been killing me the last few days. I tried to knit a few rows of my Dr Who Legwarmers and just couldn't really keep going. I don't know what's going on, but I guess I'll just take a small break. Boo.

In the meantime, enjoy this photo of Bug in a beret and Irish Hiking Scarf. He's being "Fashion Bug."

Hat tricks.

I have some photos of the finished and blocked IHS. It looks lovely, I'm just too tired to edit/upload photos. I wore the scarf out on Saturday morning to go bridesmaid dress shopping. By the afternoon, it was too hot to wear and it was happily living in my J.Crew bag.

I finished the grey hat for Nick on Thursday evening... And it was too large... It got frogged Friday. I'm going to re-knit it soon.



I finished the purple and pink Silk Garden hat, but I'm afraid it might be a little too small. I'm going to pull out the CO end and add some more length. I love the way the colorway knit up though.



I also started a very cute 4x2 pink and green striped hat. It's just some generic yarn that was in the stash, but the colors looked great together and I wanted to knit something especially for Project Spectrum. (I've been falling behind... I still haven't finished my grey scarf that I cast on at the beginning of this round.)

I have another hat in the works for as soon as Vince decides what kind of pattern he wants. He played in yarn for quite a while on Sunday night trying to pick out what he wanted.

I think that's all the knitting news... I honestly can't remember. I need some sleep.

Yessssssssssssss!

I finished something! About frakkin' time.



My poor, long neglected grey Irish Hiking scarf. Seriously, when did I start this thing?? JULY of last year? What. The. Hell.

Anyway... it's done. It looks nice and is blocking away in front of my door.

WIP rolecall.

Since revamping the blog and my quick production of ballbands, I've noticed a sad trend here in the house of Libertine-ville. A growing stash of WIPs. Yes.

WIPs!

Everywhere...

Hmm... I have socks that I haven't touched since mid-September. A blanket that I generally tend to forget about until I have the urge to knit something red and once I dive into the stash to find red yarn, realise that I harvested all of it for said blanket. (You'd be surprised by the odd color urges that come over me. I've been staring at my basket of cotton for ballbands and willing some purple and blue to show up and maybe some light green... and maybe yellow. But that's a whole different story. Those little things are like crack.)

Back on topic -- there's the scarf that was supposed to be quick and dirty just sort of looks like a Muppet on crack. Another scarf, my second Irish Hiking scarf... that I haven't touched since I moved. The Log Cabin blanket for Mom has been moved back to Mother's Day. A flight means limited space and a huge heavy blanket just won't make it into my bag. A rug for my cold, cold floors. And finally the Twiggy Bobble hat. I knit several inches of this on Thanksgiving and then realised I had made the bobbles wrong. Oops.

So that's it for now. Yikes. I'm sure there are some other ones hiding away in a box somewhere but we'll ignore those.
