Shifting Sand's Close Up

I was on vacation in early March. I went up to Williamsburg, VA. I forgot to bring a scarf of any kind, instead I used it as some motivation to actually get some knitting one.

Let the knitting begin

As I had mentioned previously I frogged a scarf that I was not feeling and was going to redo in a Yarn Harlot pattern. I cast on and so far am loving it. It is not far enough along to photo yet maybe by Saturday.

Grrr....

The mermaid is having some issues...I was hoping to be able to color in the body using watercolor pencils along with regular colored pencils and a bit of acrylic paint. Nope not going to work. Sigh, going to have to just paint it. The pencils are a bit easier to work with than straight paint.

Cast on for a scarf. I got a single skein of a Noro yarn this past fall, a close out. The pattern I was doing didn't thrill me so I am going to us Yarn Harlot's scarf pattern nice and simple one at that.

Will you look at that.

I am still alive...I have been rather busy but we all say that.

Since I last posted, I have made what is turning into the yearly trip to the Isles-this time Ireland. More on that later (man you take over 1000 pics getting them ready takes along time). But in the mean time-knitting!

I got some of that ultra coshie goodness Malabrigo Merino. I only bought two skeins but I should be enough to do Shifting Sands.

While I was in Ireland, I started Clapotis again. And well, it is going to be really long. I had started the decrease rows and realized that I was no where near the end of the third ball. So I pulled back. I have four balls of this yarn and there will be no returning an unused ball to stash.

Couple days before Christmas, I got on this must make presents for next year. No one got any knitting gifts...actually I usually don't give handmade gifts for Christmas. But by golly that is changing this coming year. I found this yarn in my stash but not recorded (hmm how did that happen), I think it will make a nice scarf for one of the guys in the group or for a friend who is really into camo. It is the Mistake Rib pattern...very nice but man a yarn eater.

Also in my stash was was Microspun by Lion Brand. I had enough to do the body of Knitty's Mariposa, so with Joann coupons and mother in hand I picked up to purple ones for the trim.
