Rip, Rip Rip.

I am so frustrated. Yesterday I had to rip out a large portion of my Noro Scarf. Stupid me, in the middle of my project, I switched needles. Even though they both say US9, it doesn't make them equal. I noticed that the scarf was becoming a bit more narrow, but I thought I had hit the thin part of the yarn. I finally realized that it was the needles.

Just when I thought everything was coming along so nicely.

Noro Scarf

I love the freak weather change we had this past weekend. Perfect for knitting outside on the deck. It's absolutely fabulous, and I'm quite ready for the fall.

I'm knitting a scarf from the Knitting Yarn Store UK. I love the stripey triangles and it knits up pretty quick. After an afternoon of knitting, I went inside to get my camera. When I came back out, the dog had taken over my place on the chaise and went to sleep on my the beginnings of my scarf. Isn't she cute?

Here's a close up of the scarf...

Hopefully I'll finish it tomorrow, then again tomorrow is a Monday ;-(

more pics (another test post)

I'm still trying to decide which photo blogging site I like best. Flickr.Hello.Photobucket.

Byzanz Bag (& testing Flickr email blog)

I finished sewing on the handles late yesterday. I like the way it turned out. I just hope my sister likes it.

It's the first time I've used such a chunky yarn. The Byzanz certainly knits up quick on the 15 needles. Finally I have another FO!! Yes!

Byzanz Bag: Part 1

I'm almost done!!

I'm using the handles I bought for my organdi bag. (As I'm still disgruntled about the price markup, I've decided to order smaller handles for that project.) Anyway, I've finished the body, now all I need is fabric for the lining. Just what my craft budget needs, a trip to G-Street ;-)

Here's a closeup...

this yarn is so soft and fluffy, I think I need to get more....
