I Knitted!

Yay! That was the word heard throughout my house this past week, as I finally got back into the groove with my knitting. The craziness is starting to subside in life, and some time opened up over the weekend to catch up on back episodes of Battlestar Galactica with the DH. We're still back in season 2.5, so Netflix has been coming fast and furious as we race to get caught up without hearing spoilers. But, back to the knitting. This week, I finished two projects and busted through two skeins of stash. Below are the One Row Scarf by the Yarn Harlot and Calorimetry (minus the button, which is coming) and both are knit on size 8s with Mountain Colors Mountain Goat in Big Sky. I loooooooove this colorway. It was a gift from last year, and I finally found two patterns to suit it. I still have enough left over to make another Calorimetry for my sister. We'll both use them to run together this winter. I also made the 100 stitch cast-on modification for the Calorimtery, after a failed attempt at 80. I'll cast on tonight for the second one. Glad to have my groove back!

Long Time, No Blog

Well, I still exist out here in the world, although there has been very little knitting to report this month. Work has been exceptionally crazy, and the hours that I used to spend going for a run and knitting have been swallowed up. But, I did enjoy a stress free Saturday yesterday and pulled out the One Row Scarf (Raveled here) and got through to the second skein of the Mountain Colors yarn that I have been using. My poor Serendipity Sock continues to languish in my crafts room, but I am doing well with it. After snapping a very expensive Lantern Moon DPN (they are pretty, but I knit too tight for them), I ordered the stainless steel version from Knit Picks. I love them! They are durable and move very smoothly. No pics to speak of on this post. But, once I get through next Friday, there will be knitting and pictures again. Wish me luck!
