Quick project and prez
Very soft alpaca and silk Flower Scarf ( Ravely link ) with destash yarn and borrowed needles from J. I started it at J&N's when I ran out of habitat and fetching project on the trip. The fisherman's rib is very fluffy, I like it a lot. The flower was a p-i-t-a. I did it twice. The first one had giant gaping holes in between the dpns and the opening was too small for the ball I knitted. I mod'ed the flower pattern, co more and then a more gentle inc in the first round. I had to dig through all my needles to have enough to do the flower. The yarn is a little prickly but may be ok. I may even wear it ;-)
And another quick prez. Fetching from Knitty Summer 2006. This one has to make it in the mail soon. I think I am going to stop on the prez for this year. I made a few little things. Perhaps next year I will get more organize and do more than little thingies.
The last few days I took a break from knitting in the last few days. I browsed through a few Nicky Epsteins books from the library and do a little catch up on my magazines. Last night I made the sub-recipes for Triple Chocolate Trifle. The 'Handmade Candy Canes" I got had a chocolate colored centered, so they are duds. Sigh. I need to find new candy canes or skip the peppermint all together. Bleah.
