Lace may just kill me


7 hours of work, and only 3.5 repeats into this Branching Out scarf. I may well be ready to retire by the time this gets long enough to be used as a scarf on anything larger than a Barbie doll.

Mini-argyle my heart <3


Due to a bus breakdown, which turned a 1.5 hour trip into a 5 hour disaster,
the mini argyle hat got finished!

I did the decreases at the wee morning hours at the beach.
Pardon the resemblance of my head to a egg.
Though a snazzy argyle egg at that.
It's a lot harder to take picture of oneself in a hat than you'd think.

Yarn: Jaeger Shetland Aran in Linen Tweed and Charcoal Tweed.
US 8/5.5 mm circulars and dpns.
Made up the hat pattern as I went, mini-argyle chart from Eunny Jang
96 st. in the round (to go with the 12 st. pattern repeats. )

I really like knitting with both hands! What I mean is holding one color on my left, and one in the right. The balls of yarn don't end up tangled. Lovely ^_^

Argyle is a go!


Argyle!! Well, mini-argyle, since it's only two colors , not three. Using the chart I got from EunnyJang
