2 FO's!

First - what do you all think of the new look on my blog? It is thanks to a blogger friend at work! We are still tweaking it - but I like the goldfish...


Anyway - as I mentioned yesterday - not only did I have a bunch of fun this weekend, but all of the time spent in the car and on the train gave me time to get a bunch of knitting done. And - they were both UFO's from December! Remember the Waterfall Scarf class I took? I finished the scarf to send to my Grandma for her birthday!


Details:

Waterfall Scarf (honestly can't seem to find the pattern on the Web. Woolpack sells it.)

Yarn: Wildfoot, Black Orchid, One skein

Size 8 beads

Size 0 Turbo Addis



Fun knit - not as hard as you would think! I'm going to make another for me, but use Koigu, and size 2 needles. It didn't need to be knit so tightly - but it doesn't look bad knit on the 0's.

Also also finished my Lenten Rose socks from my Sundra Petals Collection club...

These were a fun knit! I just needed to take a break from finishing to work on my Mom's sweater! I'm excited to have them done before the next installment arrives... maybe this will be a trend for the rest of the year? I have 8 more pairs worth of yarn coming to me in the mail!

I haven't knit lace in a while - so I think that is why this was so fun for me. And the pattern was interesting enough that I had to think about it - but I was able to memorize it after few repeats. This had a funky heel construction - it's a very small heel compared to what I am used to. I'm wearing these to work today - and I'll be interested to see if they stay in place. The pattern also calls for a star toe - which I haven't used since my first pair of socks! I thought they would look bad - but the star toe is kind of funky.

And the yarn? Awesome.

And on a final note? I finished the reknitting on my Aunt's sweater. I'll be dropping that off at the yarn store today. Now - I get to think of what I want to knit next! Yippeee!
