Progress

After 2 days of work, progress is slow, but existant! YAY! I thought I'd be a pain in the arse and post pics of my progress so far...





This is my scarf as a baby...only 10 rows old! LOL Yes, I'm an idiot, but you gotta admit, it's kind of funny...come on - ADMIT IT!!!





This is of course the toddler phase. My little baby is growing up so fast! (to me anyway) It's a whole 40 rows now! *tear*





This is still at 40 rows...just a different view. Ain't it cuuuuuuute?! Teehee...it looks like a hat!



Okay, that's getting a little old now, huh? I haven't even decided if it's a girl or a boy yet. Obviously, I included that second pic so y'all could see the inside. I'm pathetically enamored with the damn thing since it's pretty much the farthest I've ever gotten with a knitting project. This by no means indicates that I'm content and won't finish it. I have every intention of finishing the little guy (I guess I decided it was a boy) I do have one question for you, my knitting professors: Is it normal for the stripes where I switch colors to go a little woppy-jawed? I'm assuming so, since Andrea told me to always switch at the beginning of a round and the atypicallyknit site says to "Be sure to align all the color changes along one crease (they're less noticable that way)". Can't hurt to double/triple check though! I gotsta go get a new row counter or figure out where the frig I packed my bag o' yarn and implements. And I need to get a tapestry needle so I can weave in the ends at the color changes. Anywho, it's almost 1 a.m. and for some deranged reason, there's an inch of snow on the ground...in Texas....in April. Yeah, I don't know

Oooooh!

I must hurry and finish this awesome Harry Potter PoA scarf, for I need to learn new stuff! I just found these kick ass patterns in another blog and I really want to learn how to make them. Hooray!! I think I might need some guidance on doing the 2 colors on circulars though. I looked on KnittingHelp.com and got the impression that it might be difficult and that intarsia was practically impossible so...

Anyway, I was looking at patterns online and came across this groovy pattern for ankle socks!!! I think it's an omen cause I was just saying the other day how I like those kind of socks. And on the plus side, I could probably actually WEAR those to see the movie. Oooooh, spooky! Obviously, I'm a dorkazoid and want them with these colors. So you see why I desperately need to get this stuff down like 5 minutes ago! Not to mention this nifty Weasley Sweater Sweet right? Maybe it would be more Texas-appropriate with short sleeves. Yes, I know I'm getting carried away with all these things I can't really even think of doing yet - but someday I will make them, darnit! Speaking of things I haven't done, I think the first thing I'm going to do when I DO finish my PoA scarf is try a swatch of cable knitting. I just have to learn to concentrate. Anyway, I'm going to stop typing and do more knitting for the time being.

Luvs ya'! Laters!

I'm in Love!

Yeah, I'm really feelin' this house scarf pattern! It's SO easy and is turning out beautifully if I do say so myself! I'd post a picture, but I only have 7 rows done. I'm just so amazed at how nice it looks. Hahaha...kinda sad, huh? Ah, well ces't la vie, right? (yes, I'm mixing languages - leaave me alone!) I think a lot of how good it's looking is the yarn I'm using. This very nice, worsted weight, Acrylic/Wool blend. Even though I'm technically allergic to wool this stuff has yet to bother me. Hooray! I'm really happy with the colors I chose too. They look really nice together and I am really lookind forward to rows 28-31 so I can see how nicely they look knitted together. You can get this stuff at Plymouth Yarn Online Even though I can't afford any more, I still need 2 more skeins of 9601, I think...if one must go into debt, yarn is the most blissful way to do so, right? =P

I Was Right! Yay!

be sorted @ nimbo.net

So I got the right colors for my house scarf! Huzzah!
