One Project Down

I finished the Hobbit Cowl with Highland Handmades  quaking aspen sock sea glass colorway yesterday.  Its a nice colorway and pattern but with my fat head, I should have cast on at least 10-20 more stitches to get past my ears.  😒

Its not the best art shot on the lichen chimenia. 

Next project is Simple Yet Effective fingering edition shawl made with Mosaic Moon "Wonder Woman" sprinkle in a talisman fingering.  Wish me luck.

The Stripes Keep Going

I am almost halfway through the Fino Circle Scarf  with a month to do 3 feet.  Having the school year done will help me get through the last half.  I have hit a snag though.  I have found a slipped stitch about an inch down and have to figure out how the bloody hell I am going to fix it without it totally noticable.

I will probably send this image for help on Ravelry.  I really don't want to strip it back that much and then redo it.  

I did go to the Caba Classic Alpaca show, that was fun.  The web link is  http://cabaclassic.org/  . 

Best bet is to cut and paste.  I really wanted to see if I could stick some in the back of a Suzuki hatchback.  But I doubt that that will happen, plus I think that my next door neighbor would call animal control on me.  I didn't realize that Alpacas live to be 20 years old.  

Aren't they sweet?  Tried to do the nasal sounds they give off but they just looked at me like I was off my rocker.

Well need to work more on that blessed scarf.  

Adios.

Wine Does Help

Trying this from my kindle fire, so be patient so be its my first time in my tablet.  This is about 2 feet of 6 feet of the Fino Circle Scarf by Jocelyn J. Tunney.  It's from Yarn Rescue (now Yarn Hero) in the Compliments colorway, light fingering.   I am using us 6.  But I am so glad I have 4 skeins of this.  My math seems to be off.  I thought I would use 2 skeins but almost done with  a skein for under 2'.  I am trying to work on it when I can work on it with washing and blocking by June for my mom on this cruise we are taking. Keep your fingers crossed.  But today knitting is helping me keep occupied so I'm not obsessing over a family illness that's not disappearing.  I am also doing this pattern in the Hottentot Teal colorway by HighlandHandmades, which looks more like turquouse but I'm only a couple of inches in. Which is hopefully being my airplane knitting, that's if I'm not lucky and get that done in 2 months.

Goodnight.
