It ain't done until you've blogged it

Well I can consider myself done with the herringbone scarf (aka "my so-called scarf"). I finally put the fringe on and marked it complete on ravelry. You can also see an awkward self-portrait in bathroom mirror on ravelry. I'm also making progress on the wrap sweater, the back and right side are done; this will be my first adult's sweater. It's been quick so far, though that tends to be my famous last words. My last sweater is still sitting in my cabinet; I wonder if I'll ever get back to it. I made the mistake of using yarn I didn't totally like, and a sweater's too much time to spend with yarn you don't really like. Anyway, this yarn is better; its an alpaca blend. I just hope the lace pattern stands out nicely once its blocked.

Herringbone scarf


I recently had my wisdom teeth taken out and recovery gave me some time to make progress on my newest project, a herringbone stitch scarf. Details are available on my Ravelry page. As are some of the other projects I've finished recently.
I really like it, its a very dense stitch and should be nice and warm. It tends to knit up skinnier than stockinette, hence the skinny scarf. Nonetheless, because its so dense, not having to fold it over will be a good thing.

Mini-clappy


I guess I'm on a roll, because I recently finished a small version of the Clapotis. I had 500 yds of Brook's Farm Duet, instead of the recommended 1000 yds, so I was constantly worried about running out. To make it smaller, I repeated sections 1 and 3 only four times, and section 2 eight times. But as you can see in the picture I had plenty left over, so I could have made it bigger. Nonetheless, I'm happy with the more scarf-like size.
