My dog is quite the multi-tasker. She can take a snooze in her favorite spot on the couch, AND model a scarf all at the same time! This is the scarf I knit for Sindy for her birthday present. The colors in the yarn look a little bright in this picture, so I’m going to go out on a limb and say it’s prettier in person. I absolutely love the yarn I used for this project. I have more of it in purple that I intend to use to make myself something. My scarf will be skinnier and more of an accessory, but I figured with Sindy living in Michigan, she would actually use the scarf in the winter, and not just for looks!

The yarn is Sensations Spirits in Berry from Joann. It’s a straight knit scarf, I cast on 10 and just ran with it. I used size 10 bamboo needles. This took 2 skeins of yarn.

I just finished up a knitting project in record time. I started it last week and literally just finished my last stitches. I think that’s a new record for me. It’s a gift for someone, so no pictures til she receives it. I’m pretty happy with how it came out – the yarn is soooo soft and pretty.

Somehow, my simple trip to Target for a return turned into a sidetrip into Joann’s (located in the same plaza!) where I spent $50 on yarn and a new pair of knitting needles. Project? Oh, I have absolutely not a project in mind, so I guess I’d better figure out what to do with all of this yarn. It’s very soft, and very pretty, so maybe I’ll just sit here and stare at it for a while, in the hope that something will pop into my head.

I started a new knitting project well over a month ago. And haven’t touched it since. I have been so unmotivated to work on it, it ain’t even funny!

It’s a simple little project, and I could whip it out in a few evenings if I put my mind to it. But right now, my heart is just not in it…

blah.

I just finished the scarves I made for my sisters girls for Christmas. (Don’t worry – they’re getting REAL presents in addition to these!). The green/black one is for a 14 yr old girl who is a huge Green Day fan – I hope it’s cool enough for her. The purple one is for her older sister, and I like it so much, I’m tempted to keep it!
