...just because i can.
remember that noro yarn that i knit into :
i actually finished the scarf, using 4 skeins of noro. didn't like it so frogged the entire scarf and started
i liked how the colors were making stripes. however, i kept losing my place in the scarf and ending up tinking back at several times. do you know how frustrating it is to find a mistake in a scarf that is knit lengthwise?! yes, close to 300 stitches in a row. and yes, i did...
the yarn is in its third reincarnation of a scarf! and i think i will keep this one. i did have to frog this version once after knitting 3 -4 repeats because i realized that i was knitting the corners wrong and that they were not sitting flat. i get easily confused, thankyouverymuch.
i don't think i have ever gotten so much play value from any of my other yarn. seriously!
and you all know i love contests. barbara bretton (author of "casting spells" and other romance novels) of
romancing the yarn blog is having a 2 month prize giveway. well, i won her drawing for july 11th. she sent me this cute bag, bookmark, a magnet (it's some place), and 2 skeins of elann baby cashmere (perfect for a scarf-and you all thought i was scary with socks! LOL!)
there is still a month to go for the daily drawings so go on over and sign up. it's really easy!
and the sign-ups are open for the
carefree mystery sock kal. as i mentioned in my last post, i am designing the socks and i hope some of you decide to play with me. i hate being lonesome. you do need to join the carefree kal blog in order the receive the clues. there will be a limit to the number of people allowed to join just cause that's the way blogger plays.
