Here there and everywhere....
Blogging has been pretty slim in these parts lately. I'm having a lazy Sunday morning around the house (hooray!), so here's my effort to "catch up" on what I've been up to, knitting wise and otherwise.
First up - the Japanese Fan Scarf!
Project Details:
Pattern: 2 Weeknights with Warrick (basic feather & fan scarf)
Yarn: Diakeito Diadomina - just over 3 balls
Needle Size: Size 8 Denise needles
Pattern Modifications: None
Final impressions: This is my first entry in my attempt to knit some Christmas gifts way in advance. I love this color-changing kind of yarn!
I have also started a few small, fairly midless projects, since that's what I like to work on in the evenings after work.
This strange little blob will (hopefully!!) become a Baby Surprise Jacket for my friend Emily's baby. I'm knitting it in Socks that Rock Lightweight (Banded Agate) on Size 5 needles. My husband says I should have done it in brown and green, so it would look like camo. (The daddy-to-be is really into hunting and fishing.)
My other easy project is a new pair of Monkey Socks - this time, the no-purl version.
I'm using yarn I got in the Loop Ewe Spring Fling swap. I've never seen it before in a yarn shop or online, but it's very pretty. It's Three Waters Farm Handpainted Merino sock yarn.
I don't normally knit socks with 100% merino (cause I think the stuff with 25% nylon or so holds up better, plus I'm too lazy to hand-wash socks), but I must admit that it is very nice. =)

A BSJ out of STR?! Very chic and very soft. The colors are great. I like the colors of your Monkeys too.
Now, the Japanese scarf -- is that Diaketo the loopy mohair one? Who knew that it striped like that. Or am I being dense and you're the striper. Hmm.

I love all the yarn colors. The scarf is lovely! Perhaps we could do a scarf jewelry swap sometime? I need a new Zarah scarf for the winter!
