Rainy Day is over and the Sun is out!

After what seemed like an never ending skein of yarn, I finally used it all up - - well, all but 11 inches!





Everyone told me to keep going until I ran out of yarn, so now have a scarf that is 7 feet and 10 inches long. . .


Part way thru the scarf when it got a little boring K2P2K2P2. . . K1P2K2P2. . P2K2P2K2. . . I decided to make something to match for my head, as it seemed I had decent amount of yarn. If I had known then just how much yarn there was, I might have went for a hat instead of a headband. I'm just glad it is still cold out and I can try out my new set in the winter weather.
Now the only question is do I start something new. . .or do I try to finish another project up first. . . I think my V-day yarn swap yarn is calling my name.

Project Updates

So, I haven't posted anything in a while. I thought no one would notice, as I do update Ravelry more than I visit here. However, I was wrong. Someone did notice, and reminds me everytime they see me. So, here is an update of all the projects going on.

Myrtle Leaf Shawl:

I have one more row to do, to have completed 5 repeats. Only 35 more to go. . .then the border.











Jaywalker socks:

One is done, the other one is having the heel turned.












Rainy Day Scarf:

It's getting there, but there is STILL a LOT of yarn left, so I shall carry on. Even after I made a headband.























My knitting group did a Valentine's Day yarn swap last night, and I got some beautiful Tatany Tweed. I think I am going to use it to make: Palindrome Hat by Kristin Bellehumeur




I think that is it :)
