Woe to stockinette stitch!

Well folks, back so soon.

Knit news:

I knit a scarf over Thanksgiving break. It was beeauuutttiful.

Keyword: Was.

I used Wool-Ease Thick N' Quick on size 13 needles, and the 5 foot scarf took about 4 days to complete. Not too bad, actually. I used their green and orange in a vertical stripe pattern, 6 st green, 6 st orange, 6 stitches green. A nice quick pattern if you're looking to get aquainted with bobbin (color) knitting.

My folly?

I made it in stockinette stitch, the entire thing. The whole thing curled in. Terribly. it looked more like one of those things you shove under a door to prevent drafts than a frikkin' scarf.

So i'm going to knit it again. This time using a stitch that won't curl.

onward and upward, folks.

Yep, it's that time of the year again. So far, i'm maybe 2/3 done with a scarf for the boyfriend's mum for christmas. I'd like to also knit a scarf for his sister. I really just want to re-make Cotton Candy, but somehow i feel like that's cheating, since i already made that pattern before for previous boyfriend's sister. :/ So, i dunno. Maybe i'll make her a purse or something. Or a scarf with a different pattern. That's pretty much the update. Pictures ... sometime eventually. I wish i had the cash to buy the yarn for a sweater.

A quilt I made for my friend's baby, who is due in October!

Reusable produce bag!

A reusable fabric produce bag! Very easy to make, and keeps all those plastic produce bags from messing up your good "i use reusable grocery bag" image at the check out line.

Yarnarchy!
