OTN 11/16/08

I have done one heel's short rows on the Baudelaires, and then discovered, after mom tried it on that it is 1cm too short. I am going to try to fenangle it, and see if I can make it work before I turn the heel.

Dad's scarf is coming along, I'm about halfway through one ball of yarn, and 1 foot into the scarf. Dad likes it. He says it's manly.

OTN: 11/8

Working on Christmas presents this week. No personal knitting projects until these are done.

For mom, I am knitting a pair of Baudelaires in Koigu KPM in color 2100, a bright yellow.

For dad, a right cross cable scarf in Misti Alpaca Chunky in color 410, Natural Brown. The color is much darker than this photo, but this shows the cable the best.

Once these are done, all I will need to knit is a beanie for Librarian Boyfriend.  I haven't found a good yarn for that yet, though.

On the Needles for Sat 10/11

Currently working on Mayumi's Thistle Scarf.

Finished the Doctor Who Season 18 scarf (more correctly, stopped at 8 feet 8 inches long, because the recipient did not want anything too heavy.) It was washed and dried on Wednesday. 

I am three repeats of the Thistle Lace pattern in on Mayumi's scarf.  It is looking really pretty, especially with the fluffiness of the yarn. (Plymouth Baby Alpaca Brush)

Will be casting on dad's scarf once I figure out what cables to do.  The design notebook has a few scribbles, but nothing concrete.  Thinking of doing a two cable scarf for him. Need something to show off the Elsebeth Lavold Silky Flamme yarn that I chose.
