Sometimes it seems like I get sidetracked talking about lots of other stuff on the blog, but I guess such is life. I do still knit, and even though it might not be the center of every post, let me assure you, it still happens. So here’s both some finished and unfinished objects to tide you over. First up is the Backyard Leaves scarf, from Scarf Style, knitted up in some Cascade 220 Heathers in a lovely green color. I really enjoyed this pattern, and by the end I was able to memorize it, which helped. It’s not the fastest knit, but it’s beautiful and well worth the effort.
Next up we have the Irish Hiking Scarf, also being knit up in Cascade 220 Heathers, in a light chocolate color. I can’t say enough about this pattern, it’s simple, easy to memorize, fast knitting and the results are great looking. Definitely a keeper!
Lastly, I’m still working away on The Project That Shall Not Be Named. I’m beginning to worry that it might not be done in time, but I continue to be optimistic. (Or delusion, you decide…) Here’s a picture, with the obvious details blurred for the protection of the giftee, but I’m sure you get the idea. Speaking of which, I have the evening off, so I need to get back to the knitting…
Tomorrow, Me, Dallas and Emma will be posting what we’re thankful for. Happy Thanksgiving!
Speaking of sidetracked…I updated the etsy store with some yarns that I’ve had for a bit. There’s 3 skeins of worsted up there and they’re on sale until further notice. Also there’s a skein that was previously called Carnival, but I reskeined it and decided to change the name to Froot Loops. Mmmm, my favorite cereal!
The scarves look lovely.
See! I told you to go with the Irish Hiking! They are both fantastic!
Happy Thanksgiving!
ooooh, i spy pink lace!

Everything is better in Cascade 220, isn’t it?
