not all adventures in yarn lead where you wish nor are resounding successes. in the case of this scarf, i began but found after seeing the striated color pattern emerge that, given the stitch, i'd rather go another way with the yarn. i haven't an actual frog pile but this is going to be frogged before nightfall to be worked into something awesome.

i finished knitting this last night. i love the pastel color wisps in the yarn & i'm fairly excited to give the skeins of this yarn in purple the same treatment. for the life of me, i can't recall where i got this yarn but it's been in my yarn stash for a while. i'm glad i've got around to using it.

after a rifle through my yarn stash, i came upon a bulky alpaca blend that's been begging to be used for too long. so, out came the circular needles, i poured a glass of chardonnay and set to work. this is it's current progress and it looks even better knit than it does in skein.

it's always nice to get some personal knitting in, so when i had some time recently, i whipped this citron cowl up for myself. i'd made a cowl for my madre & wanted one for myself. :) thr citron color is a fave but i don't often run into yarn that shade.

i began knitting this scarf yesterday afternoon & while i've not had much time to work on it, it's coming along nicely. the yarn is a soft, sqishy lamb's wool & acrylic blend & i'm using double strands here on circular needles.
