noodle scarf
well i discovered that i knit less in warm weather. i tend to pick up a book rather than the needles. but knitting is going on here, just not at the crazy pace it was before. you want proof? take a looksie
that my friends has been on the needles for several months now. it was always intended as a "side" project since it is a winter wearable. i have been a bit more focused on it lately (along with the second broadripple sock but who wants to see that again). i believe i am about 2/3 of the way through the ever popular ruffle scarf from scarf style. i am using the knit picks andean silk in black. it is a nice yarn, though the scarf is turning out heavier than i imagined.
i also managed to pick up a few things for my bookshelf last weekend.
i hate to admit this, but i had NO idea that martha had put out a holiday book last year!! i have all of them so was thankful i came across this at joanns! what would i have done if i realized too late that i was missing one from my collection?? whew. and i used a joanns 40% off coupon. what a deal!
now i am not that into any of the vogue patterns from the fall issue, but a couple things caught my eye. as usual though, they probably won't come to fruition.
and the ribbonrie book? well although it is kind of geared towards scrapbookers, i couldn't resist. i heart ribbon. i have many, many spools along with containers full of cut yardage.
trust me, that is just the beginning of my ribbon stash.
oh! and i should point out that i was kinda wrong on the whole m&ms/postal service thing (see comments of previous post). i apologize. i should know my postal service better than that! anyhoo, i still haven't managed to score a bag of the big m&ms yet. but if they are like the gigantic reese's p-butter cup, it might not be all that (now don't get me wrong, if someone handed me a big 'ol reese's i would eat it. i LOVE reese's, i am just saying that bigger isn't always better, the proportion of chocolate to p-butter is thrown off in the gigantic one).
i am off to another dr. appt. now. i am feeling better these days, but the worry from this crap has given me a terrible case of sleep starts and frayed nerves. but that said, i know that what i have isn't serious, so no big worries. i just can't seem to get that through to my body! :)
and thanks for still reading my blog even though my posting has been "sporadic" :) (i heart that word, clueless is one of my fav movies!).

I'm knitting the ruffle scarf as well in Rowan Calmer. I am amazed by the way knitting can take on a three-dimensional shape. Very cool.
I hope you get to feeling better soon.

Hope you feel better soon!
glad to know that you're going to be ok! i work at michaels, and when i saw the ribbon book i had to page through it and look at all the pictures. i do not do any crafts that involve ribbon, but the photos are beautiful!
I saw the mega M & Ms at Fred Meyer the other day. They're just a bit larger than regular ones. Nothing too exciting. :(
Glad to know that you are figuring out what is going on...was worried?! I have to disagree with you on the peanut butter cup comment...i love the gigunda ones...mmm, mmm, good!!
Feel better - I know what you mean, I have some health thing going on, and not knowing is the not sleeping part - just sucks! and the doctors appointments being in OCTOBER doesn't help either! I will keep my eyes peeled for those Megs M&M's....
I'm so glad you're feeling better. I've missed reading your blog!
What a ribbon stash you have. I suppose I'm not suprised, you're so crafty and you always come up with the greatest things! Looks like Martha really has gotten into you!
What Jessica said...the Mega aren't really Mega. I guess a man came up with that marketing name. Hope you get some good sleep soon.
Such a pretty noodle scarf! I like that pattern ;)
Your ribbon stash is great! I like how you have them displayed--just like a store!
Still hoping you are feeling better. The noodle scarf is so cute. I'm sure you will finish it before fall sets in.
i knitted my noodle scarf with cotton. talk about HEAVY. i call it the 'self-strangulation' scarf. when i wear it, it grows as cotton grows, and starts to tighten, then, my face gets just as red as the yarn!
but, i still love it. i will SUFFER to look cute ;)
What a great scarf! Thank goodness scarf-wearing weather is just around the corner! I'm so glad to hear you're doing okay. Hang in there!
I love the scarf and am jelous of your ribbon collection...
