Knitting
So I finally finished the pot holder. All that is left now is the felting process....don't know when I'll get around to doing that. I basically knitted the entire ball Heather gave me. I wonder how much it will shrink. I took these pics with my new camera, I'm still working out the kinks. :S
I also got started a little while ago on a new project. Yes, a scarf. lol. I could not wait to start something new so I went to Michaels and found the yarn section. I bought my first pair of needles, grey aluminum needles, size 10 USA. They are the same type as the ones Heather lent me; I'm still sticking to familiar territory. I bought some acrylic yarn on sale. $2.5 a ball. So I bought three :) Turns out the yarn is hell to work with but I got used to it. Unfortunately, the scarf is very deformed. I had received some comple
ments on the evenness and conformity of my stiching/tension so I got cursed. :D The scarf started out really tight but I got frustrated with the tightness and started knitting very loosely not thinking of the result. *face palm* So I will continue knitting tighter and tighter. The stupid thing is also way TOO BIG! Ideally, it would have been 2/3 the width, which translates into the scarf will take much longer to finish. The original plan was to give it to my mom for her b-day in November. But now I'm embarassed to offer her something so mediocre. I may as well offer her a necklace made of painted pasta. *sigh* So I just might keep it for myself. The material is so comfortable and warm. Well this is the progress so far:
