i just made "megan's ruffled neck warmer" designed by megan b. wright. unfortunately, i had to use a set of size 7s - as they're the smallest straight needles i have... so, the scarf itself is not nearly as dense as i would like... very noodle-y... the ruffle however, still billows and undulates... it's entertaining...
so, i will have to cave and buy yet another set of needles... and make another. shucky darn! :) the pattern is from 101 designer one-skein wonders edited by judith durant.
i've been very good about NOT buying armfuls of yarn for no reason as of late... although, i am guilty of bringing home an itty-bitty-yarny-clearance-binny-somethin'-somethin'... to add to my growing collection of random string... lying in wait... like dust bunnies... in this drawer, that bag, and this other box, etc... and i also have orphaned vintage buttons that are just crying out to be used on something like this...
kismet, no?

And Stella and Bailey leave this yarn alone?
when i'm NOT knitting, yes, the yarn is left quite alone... >:(
A cousin once taught me how to knit in junior high. I think I made half a scarf! Someday, I'd like to try knitting again, but right now any free time I have is spent blogging! Glad I found you on Filipina Moms Blog, happy to follow along.
post modern jen - i can totally relate to long term knitting... please note the legwarmers below that took me a couple of years to make... the first one took a couple of days - it was the second one that weighed around my neck like an anvil. :) i'm glad you found me via filipia moms blog too!! thanks for stopping by and commenting! :)
