So, i've finished the back to my shell, but haven't started the front yet. Well, technically i did start the front, but i was unhappy with the casting on so i frogged it. I'm going to give it another go tonight :)

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.

Yarn Parade!

Welcome to the yarn parade! Here are some of my current projects- The Mike D Scarf: This scarf is for my buddy Mike D. He asked me to make a scarf for him, and i decided to make it Mike D-style, meaning: As crazy as i could! This is made with simple a Red Heart yarn; a teal-green solid and an ombre with the exact same teal-green color with purples, beiges, reds and blues to match. It's just a simple drop stitch pattern, which makes the scarf nice and relaxed. Row 1: K Row 2: *K, YO*, Row 3: K, dropping the yarn-overs-- repeat 2 and 3 till your heart's content I've been knitting 2 rows with each of my colors, with row 3 being the first of each color. I've seen this pattern with weaving yarn through the gaps, i might do this with a bright red and a gold. The Cotton Candy Scarf! Sh... this scarf is my beaux's sister's christmas present. Knit with Lion Brand Landscapes on size 13 needles, it's just a plain stockinette stitch, knit ...

christmass...

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.
