Behold — The Scarf!
The Scarf and The Hat have been finished!
I finished the scarf on Saturday, after a marathon session of knitting involving 3 or 4 episodes of Six Feet Under, 3 episodes of Sex and the City, and various unknown bits of time wasted channel surfing through utter crap before returning to my beloved HBO on Demand. Love you HBO!!
I even blocked the scarf. Yeah - I know! Because, otherwise, as I told my brother (the girlfriend of which will be the recipient of The Hat and The Scarf) I would have been knitting for another year. So.
The Scarf! It’s done!
Due to my complete overestimate of how much yarn I would be needing (I still can’t figure out how that all works. Guage? Ummm, maybe not!) I ended up with an extra TWO skeins of yarn.
Of course I started a pair of Fuzzy Feet, just for me! I’ve been reading the pattern obsessively for about a month now, and I have finally decided I am brave enough to try it.
Do you know what?
Two things: #1 dammit it’s almost midnight AGAIN and I am still not in bed. Dammit! A mere five hours until the alarm, tra la!
and #2 I want you to know that obsessing about patterns really works! Well, probably also casting on and just TRYING it I’m sure had a bit to do with it. BUT. I now have a cuff, AND a heel, AND part of an instep done on one fuzzy foot. Dude, I totally “picked up” stitches and everything. I know!!
I must admit I’m a bit skeptical of this whole FELTING concept? But, for now I am just in knitting la la land (can’t hear you evil skeptical thoughts about felting! la la la!!) and we’ll just deal with that later.
