I had started another Candle Flame scarf, using some Smile yarn, but I only have two skeins of it. The last two Candle Flame scarves I knitted with Smile took 4 skeins each. I wonder if I have enough for another Shifting Sands scarf...

I finished another Ruffled Scarf.

I turned the heel on my Wasabi Socks - again. This time, I threw in a life line, just in case.

My attempt at being artsy.

I have a disciple. I mean follower. I have a follower.

Hey, look. Another Koolhaas Hat. A friend at work asked me to knit him a Koolhaas Hat. He asked for black, I used black, but in the pic it looks either gray, green or blue depending on your monitor.

Finished another Everlasting Bagstopper. I'm planning on making a few more. I want to stop using plastic bags when I go grocery shopping.

Pumpkin. A little bright...

My friend Jackie had Lara's mother make an awesome skull project bag for me.

Skull patter on the outside...


A different pattern on the inside


And, she used the same inside material for the inner part of the strap

Last night, I turned the heels on my Wasabi Socks - YAY!



But, today I realized that I turned the heel too soon - needed to go another ½ inch - BOO. And, when frogging back to the start of the heel, I kept dropping stitch after stitch after stitch and got soo frustrated that I just started over - CRAP!

I finished my Shifting Sands Scarf on Friday. Since I basically only used 1¼ skeins, it’s really short. A lot shorter than I usually like to knit scarves. 46” long, 7” wide. I still love the way it looks. I might have to knit another one.

I finished another BagStopper.

Some women from the Simpatico group got together and had a Fiber Garage Sale. I picked up some Cascade Sierra yarn. 80% Pima Cotton and 20% Merino Wool.

I finished Melissa's Scarf.

Scout's Swag! Rocks!! and so does Scout.

Last week, I ordered a large GoKnit Pouch in red and a medium in purple. First of all, I placed the online order on Friday - like late Friday - and it arrived the following Monday. But, by mistake, I received a pink medium, instead of purple. I emailed Scout and she suggested sending the pink pouch back and she would refund my shipping cost. Instead, I just ordered another purple - I also wanted to order another medium pouch, but in red and I'll just give the pink pouch to someone in my SnB group. So, she didn't charge me for shipping AND she even threw in a little something extra... A stitch saver and 3 of the mini-Soak packets.

MONKEY!

BOOBS!

MONKEY-BOOBS!!

Hey, look. Magic Loop.

I had some Malabrigo Cabernet left over, so I decided to knit a matching scarf for my Malabrigo Koolhaas Hat. I thought about trying to use the Koolhaas pattern, but then I saw brooklyntweed's version of Grumperina's Shifting Sands Scarf and decided to go with it instead.



The pattern doesn't 'pop' like Jared's, but I think it's due to my yarn. I did a knitting-no-no the first time I did the Koolhaas pattern in Malabrigo. I wasn't happy with the results - I should have run through the chart one more time, and I totally messed up the crown - so I ripped it out and started over. Yes, I ripped out Malabrigo. I know, I know. I'm going to burn in a very special level of hell. A level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater.

Also, I'm using Grumperina's Cabling Without a Cable Needle Method. It's actually not as hard as it sounds.

I finished another Koolhaas Hat. This one is for me.

I really love the way the crown looks

I couldn't resist.

The color is called 'Marine'


And, this color is called 'Vermillion'

I decided that 61 sts was going to be just a little big for Melissa's Scarf, so I ripped it out and started over with 41 sts.
