Scarf in a Month. . .check


Late, late last night I finished my Trekking is for Necking scarf. I love the colorway and I'm sure I'll really love the scarf once I've gotten past my "I really hate knitting scarves" after effects. The pattern is great: easy to memorize and perfect for knitting group/TV knitting.

Stats:
Yarn: Trekking XXL (109)
Needles: size 4
Pattern: Trekking is for Necking from Nipperknits.
Would I do it again? Probably because I think it is a great use for some sock yarn that you want to last longer than socks do.


**And just an aside. Thank you very much, Marsha, for the bag. Stealth skulls, nice color, and just enough room for a small project and my wallet. Thanks so much!!

Yay for finishing it! It really does look great. Quite a pretty colorway. With a lovely day like today, I'm sure you are ready to cast aside the scarf and look at it next winter!

The scarf is great - I almost want to make one now, but I think I need socks more. Can't wait to see your red clap in progress.

Memory Lane

 Came back…looking through old posts.  There are many times when I really miss blogging. Life has been super busy.  Work, family…pretty stressful. I still have delusions of grandeur that I will find time to get back to the things I love to do unfortunately for the last few years it has been a lot of HAVE to do versus WANT to do.

Stashalong--Sign ups end Jan.1

Image
Sign ups have ended. EDIT: Sign ups end January 1 at 5pm Mountain time. Anyone interested in using some of your stash in order to make room for some new spring stuff? Join me in a very informal knitalong. Here are the rules: (1) Must start and try to finish something from your stash yarn(I say "try" to finish because if you pick something huge like an afghan or sweater finishing in three months may not be realistic). (2) You have 3 months and during that time you cannot add to your stash in any way(things ordered before January 1 but not yet delivered do not count--hence the early warning--get it out of your systems, ladies). Of course realistically there is no way to police this, so the honor system is in place. (3) I am beginning on January 1, 2006 and ending March 31, 2006(if there is interest, I'd be glad to start another one after that). (4) Keep me posted on your progress and I will post it once a week--probably Mondays or Tuesdays. I've never attempted to s...
