Yes, It's Another Post From Me Already, Don't Faint

I said I had a lot of FOs to show and I wasn't kidding. And I'm feeling a sense of urgency today, possibly being something to do with the last day of my 39th year, so I've gathered together some photos having to do with the theme of "scarves".

Here's a photo from the archives: a Koigu lace scarf I finished in November 05:






I loved making it and wearing it, and in fact have worn it quite fuzzy. The great thing about a simple lace scarf is it is very easy to throw on with my standard uniform Old Navy tee shirt and twill pants and it makes everything look more pulled together.

They are also fun to knit and I had been itching to do another.





So last December, I cast on some solid cream colored sock yarn and made the Lopi Lace Scarf from Weekend Knitting. It became a Christmas gift for our sweet 1st grade teacher. I want to make this one again and think that the simplicity of the lace design would be great for a varigated yarn. I wonder if I have any varigated sock yarn lying around?

Then in February, I started Argosy. Here it is blocking on my bed:





















Look at those pretty points!





















Wait a minute, what is happening on this point? Crap!!!!!















Double crap!!!!

I put it away for about a month and then got out a needle and thread and carefully re-bound it to the last loop, then sewed the one live loop down as well as I could.








It was worth it!



My stylist (Hi Mom!) couldn't decide which way was better and took photos both ways:












Mom, getting in on the sock-yarn-scarf action, started a plain stockinette tube in Sophie's Toes color Secret Garden. When she comes to visit again, I'll get a photo of her in the finished product, because it turned out really cute.














While Mom was stockinette-ing her little heart out, I was working on my Chevron....



Tune in tomorrow to laugh at/cry with/console me on my big day! And there'll be a contest!
