starting new...

So here is my lace scarf that I was so upset about on Sunday. I am doing much better with it now. I know the yarn is coming and it will get done, blocked and then maybe I will get a decent photo of it....


So since I couldn't finish that, I started two more projects. I am using my single skein of possum to start on a geometric lace pattern, I wasn't sure how it was going to work with the lace pattern and the color variation but I actually really like it, and I love knitting with the yarn! The pattern is shaping up quickly, which is always an added bonus - especially since I am using the wrong weight yarn, wrong size needles and had to re-write the lace a bit to make a pattern that I was happy with. And since I wanted to actually watch some of the football games yesterday, I had two hats to pull out and make longer and I needed an easy project, so I started the everyday cardigan from Peace Fleece. The yarn is easy to work with and I got a whole sleeve done in a couple hours with football watching (Ian Johnson - football player and crocheter - pulled out the win for Boise State - sweet!) Soooo, now I am back to a million projects, knitting my way into the new year! And as an added bonus - Wahington State Cougars did not make it to a bowl game, but we did win the Capital Mascot Bowl - so Go Cougs!!
Happy 2007 to all!
