Project updates:

Knitting Experience Scarf : even after pulling out 6 rows and reshaping to make the ends pointyer, I didn't like it. It didn's wrap nicely around my neck. Sooo, I ripped it out and it's in nice little balls waiting for the next project. I'm going to try the scarf with a different yarn. It could be the blend of cotton, silk and something might be the cause.

Peace Fleece Scarf: on the other hand, I'm making great strides on the scarf.
Ukrainian Red
Khrushchev Corn
Siberian Midnight
Shaba Green
Georgia Rose
Baku Black
Antarctica White

Received the wool and hat kit from PeaceFleece on Friday. Great stuff!

Played around with the hat pattern. Easy to follow and on nice card stock.

The wool colors are great!

Mini skeins of wool



Little balls of wool:



I've begun knitting a scarf. PeaceFleece Scarf. Casted on 23 and working in a k1,p1 Seed/Moss stitch. Started with the Ukrainian Red and into the Khrushchev Corn...both worked up nicely with a good feel in my hands.

Dale Sweater. Still haven't touched it in a while. Here are some pictures:







Knitting Experience Scarf. Finished it actually....didn't like the blunt ends so ripped it back and am redoing with pointyer ends by adding one stitch to each end....we'll see! Guess I can't call it Knitting Experience Scarf any longer....hmmm....

Played around with a hat design last night. Didn't turn out the way I wanted. So I should pull out a pattern!

Watched some of The Four Feathers dvd last night. I sometimes feel I am the only person in the world that loves that movie...well me and Shekhar Kapur! I can't wait to watch it with his commentary turned on to hear what his vision for the movie was and if he achieved it. Did watch the "extras" and he explained how the music was written and used in some of the scenes.

Added a link to Knitters Review...does it work?

It has been a while since I was here. Not much has happened. I've not much desire to knit right now for some reason.

It was a long dark weekend. Rain began on Friday and didn't stop until Monday night. .

I did watch Pride and Prejudice on DVD. Why do I always hold my breath until Miss Elizabeth Bennett and Mr. Darcy declare their love for one another? The romantic in me I guess.

It was the same with Joe Millionaire. It was so lovely the two of them dancing together at the end. Course they were happy..they just got $500,000 each!

Dale Sweater Sleeve 1 is complete and I think it fits. I've not desire to begin the chart for sleeve 2 yet. I'm not a chart person. It was a simple chart though...

Scarf ripped back 8 rows on the scarf. I found a mistake. I tried to fix it by dropping down the stitch but garter doesn't fix like stst evidently. I'll ask the experts on Knitters Review.

Dale Sweater: I have 3 more rows before sleeve 1 is complete! The last three purl rows..woohoo! Now let's hope it fits. I'll purl the last row onto size 4 24" circulars and try it on my arm before I bind off to be sure.

Scarf: didn't work on the scarf last night. Too excited about the Dale sleeve!

Dales Sweater: Sleeve 1 almost completed!!!! About 5 rows left on the chart and then it's on to Sleeve 2.

Scarf: And the scarf is turning our really nice. I'm ready to turn and cast on the final 49 stitches. It was a quicky!

Ordered about 10 mini skeins from Peace Fleece today. as well as the red tundra hat. It will be nice to be able to sample what they sell. http://www.peacefleece.com
