let's talk about the scarf

So the Rivulet scarf is coming along quite well. I'm only starting the second skein and it's already 30 inches long! I'm really digging the yarn although I have 3 skeins of Araucania from the same dye lot and they're all seriously different colors. Oh well...It's a scarf. Speaking of which I think that I'm only going to need 2 skeins for the scarrf so I'm trying to figure out what to make with the third...some mittens? Fetching? I don't know...any one skein suggestions out there for something completely awesome?

So the Rivulet scarf is 15 inches long and I'm having fun with this one. It's an easy pattern and I'm liking the way it looks even though my gauge is a little looser than recommended. I'm also working on the heel of a plain sock. Once this one is done, I'll be going back to patterned socks since Cookie A.'s book is just calling out to me again. When I bought it, I decided that I'd make every pair of socks in there. I'm going with the order of the book, seems easier that way. I've also collected a SERIOUS collection of sock patterns so...maybe I should be making those instead of plain boring socks...

Anyhow!

Today at work, I made pumpkin chocolate chip cookies with about 20 kids. My suggestion, never bake with such a large crowd of curious hands...such a mess!!!! But we really did have a lot of fun!

In answer to the comment on my last post, yes I am on twitter (supermitaines), feel free to join me and read the random stuff that pops into my brain.

Night!

wow

the snowflakes were coming down HARD!!!! I'm so glad they didn't stay...

I cast-on for the Rivulet scarf today in some Araucania...alas it's pooling like a mofo but really, for something that's going around my neck, I don't think it matters too much.

I'm sorry for the tiny straight to the point messages. I got used to Facebook and Twitter, so I'm lowly getting back into this...

Ishbel

She's finished, she's pretty and she's blocking as we speak!

This is one of the first time that gauge and I get along so well!

I'm 10 rows away from finshing Ishbel in KnitPicks Shadow.

I'm also watching Sleepy Hollow instead of finishing a midterm.

I love Johnny Depp...he makes for the best Ichabod Crane ever!

6 months

6 months have gone by since my last post. That's a long time. But I'll be back. Hold the phone...I am back!
