New and Old

Sign-up's are today! Go find out more on Alison's blog! I just can't wait to start knitting!

I was getting bored with the few projects I am currently working on, so I decided that something with a chart was just what I needed. So, what was the medicine? The Backyard Leaves Scarf from Scarf Style. I'm 5 repeats through the first half and am really loving it so far. I made one mistake, one mistake! But, I am leaving it. No frogg'in for me today :) Doesn't this shade of green remind you of Spring?!

I also (finally) picked up Scott's cardigan and started working on that again. I had left off a few months ago (due to holiday knitting) with a half a sleeve done. I've only done a few more repeats since I wasn't happy with how the sleeve was looking. The problem - its a 4x4 rib and the last knit stitch was looking all huge and ugly before the first purl stitch. The solution - After Johanna took a look at it, we decided to leave it and not frog (hmm, a frog suggests NOT to frog...). The only real solution is to not knit it in the round and seam it up at the end (uh, no thank you)!

Maybe I can keep my promise to Scott and get it done by the end of January? I highly doubt it... Maybe it will be ready by V-Day?!
