I have decided to pitch in late to this good cause. Am frantically searching for some red yarn in the stash and going to get started right away.

Visit the Red Scarf Project Blog for guidelines and scarf mailing info.

Deadline for mailing is December 15th so I better get a move on :)

Sheer Shrunk Poncho

| 1 Comment

Oops!!! Presenting my not so sheer poncho anymore. I tried washing in cold water on the hand wash cycle of the machine today, turns out jagger spun zephyr yarn felts even under those gentle conditions, next time I will have to wash by actual hand only!!! Even though it used to be a nice soft shoulder cover up, the fabric came out super even and pretty and so it does kinda work as a neck warmer. Not a total waste.

Getting Cooler Means Time to Knit

Picked up a really old project the other day. I believe I started this back in 2004 according to my old notes. Wow! I was almost halfway through at that point, and now I am about 65% done. It is going quickly and was easy to get back into which was a relief. I am hoping to have a really nice lapghan soon :)

Yep, I still knit a bit. It's just a simple sock but I like it anyway.
