When I last wrote (which was way too long ago) I had just started branching out. As I have mentioned it is not tv knitting so progress has been slow. I’ve also been distracted by a need for tv knitting due to house guests and adopting a puppy that requires special watching lest she destroy my house even more. But in that time I finished another bag and a scarf (for me even) I must be getting faster since I switched to continental since I have made this scarf before and I know it took me much longer than 3 days. I might keep this one it depends on how short it looks once its done blocking. If its too short I’m going to send it to my step mom. She’s short much like my mom so it will be less notice I hope. I am going to attempt to knock out branching out by weds since that is my next snb night. I also have to start the booga bag for missy. I do love making them since they are such a quick knit. I ended up getting more Noro for hers since the stripes are fun. I had been pretty good about my fiber addiction until I took my mom to nashville. Just a skein here and there for her bag but then as I said we went to Nashville. I ended up getting some noro for her bag, 3 hanks of manos for my so called scarf but I’m not 100% sure of the colorway it was more the best they had then my ideal. Oh well I’m sure I could make it as a gift if I don’t love it. I also got some angora on sale for a boring sweater for me but it was more than ten dollars off a ball and 4 balls of k1c2 paintbox for umm a bag I guess? Anyway now there are two local nights to go knit. Claire and I still want to do a night that’s not centered on a store. Since not everyone shops at lys and it would be kickass if we found other younger people. Not that the women we knit with now are awful I quite like most of them but you know…I think we both want to meet people closer to our age. Anyway more photo torture! As soon as it finishes blocking I’ll get a photo of my new scarf.
My branching out.
