whatcha doin?
anyone out there knitting the mrs. beetons? wow. i really dislike knitting the first half of them. i will continue though, now that i have completed the first one. i have to suck it up and get the second one done although i am really dreading the cast on. thankfully they are cute so it is worth it. i'll post pics when i have a pair.
for some mindless knitting i am doing the kid's scarf from last minute knitted gifts. i am really just using the idea, alternating two rows of noro. i did a 1x1 rib which seems to be my favorite lately, the look of stockinette without the curling. i am also using silk garden instead of kureyon. all from my stash too!
you can see in the top right of the photo that the colors got pretty similar there. oh well, it is still really cool to see the colors play out. the pic also looks too red, it is more on the magenta side. i am thankful that after hitting my 2 year knitting anniversary i still love to knit scarves (mainly because i love to wear scarves).
i forgot to post a pic of one of my coveted christmas gifts.
the new locking clover row counter. you can hang it around your neck too. but for me, the locking aspect is the best feature, whenever i throw the old red clicker in my knitting bag or purse, it always messes up my count.
back to work!

I haven't seen that clicker. I must get it for the shop. What a great idea.

i have a clicker that i like -- but i like that you can wear it around your neck -- so you never lose it
and really, you can never have too many clickers
oooh yeah, I begged the ladies at my LYS to get the mini-kacha! I think it looks like a little frog.
Those scarves are awesome. Noro is honestly the best if you want a really cool color change effect.
The color changes on the scarves are awesome!
That scarf looks great! I love the color changes. Thanks for the help with the Seattle yarn shops too, Weaving works is now one of my favorite destination yarn stores.
Oooooh! What a cool new toy! I must get me one of those!!!! Where is it from?
Amy...I am just loving that scarf. Just this afternoon I was over at my frind Joy's house looking at Last Minute Knitted Gifts. What a fantastic book! I too, am quite the fan of 1x1 ribbing.
Over at my blog, On My Mind, every week or so I feature one blog. This week it was you. I really love your projects!
