Wednesday, June 6

actual knitting.

this time of year is always busy for me for many reasons, and this year is no exception. but it doesn't mean i stop knitting (slow down, yes, stop, no).

my last chevron only took me 2 weeks i think? well i cast on for this one shortly after and it will probably take considerably longer since i am not knitting as much.

i love the combination. footzey foo and pebble beach.

i have plenty of other things i need to get on the needles. i took a long weekend (fri/mon off) this coming weekend so hopefully i can take some time to get a few more things going.

i also hope to wrap up the blogiversary. here is just a peek at the final prize.

i told you that the comments left over the month of may would figure into the last contest. so stay tuned.

I love the color combo. I am curious about how you did the more narrow pattern. I am working on mine, but had to make it the "regular" width because I couldn't figure out how to do it your way. Please don't laugh at me because I am sure it was a very simple thing you did.

ditto on the color combo! I never would have put those 2 yarns together, but the finished product is gorgeous!

I am sooo loving the color combination. You always do a great job of selecting colors. Here's my combo - scroll down page to see LMKG Chevron Scarf posting. Does anyone have any input on these colorways together? I love it myself, but I worry about my taste. Thanks for posting great pics (and WONDERFUL prizes)!

Great color combination. I decided to do a Chevron scarf too, after seeing yours. Not sure what yarn or colors I will do, but yours is very inspiring. How are the kitties by the way?
