Scarf FO and an Award

I finished up another Misty Garden scarf today. It will go in the 'present drawer' and I'll probably give it to someone on my Christmas list.


I owe BelayBunny a big Thank You for this award!

Thanks for thinking of me!

Another Misty Garden (in progress)

I liked my first Misty Garden scarf so much that I'm working on another for a Christmas gift and may even make a couple more after this one! Here's a detail showing the lace pattern and variegated colors of the Mountain Colors weavers wool in Meadow.

I have been very good about using up the yarn I've purchased. I've used/am using all 3 skeins that I bought at the blogger meet up in November!

Soooo...I've rewarded myself with a little shopping spree from Fuzzy Mabel and Purl Soho. I'll show you pictures of my yarn mail soon.

FO: Misty Garden Scarf

This was a fun, quick project from the book Scarf Style. I love the way the pattern and variegated yarn look together and think these shades of blues and purple will really dress up my typical outfit of jeans and plain tee.

Doesn't even seem to need blocking!

Blogger Meet Up

Saturday, I went to the 3rd Southern NE Knit Blogger meet up at Mystic River Yarns. It was fun chatting, knitting and shopping with these creative women! The shop is charming, as I'm sure you can see in these pictures. The owner gave us each a shop mug at the end of our meet up.

I worked on my Black Raspberry top. I've knit the front and back sections in parallel. The front is ready to be divided for the v neck shaping and then I will begin the armhole shaping on both pieces.

I purchased 3 skeins of Mountain Colors weavers wool quarters which I have not worked with before. I initially picked them for socks. This one is meadow:

This one is sapphire trail which I thought might be good for Jeff either as socks or wrist warmers. He balled up the skein for me last night while we watched TV together.

I balled this yarn which is called winter sky and thought it was just too pretty to have hidden in shoes and cast on for a scarf instead. It's the Misty Garden pattern from the book Scarf Style. It's a very different yarn than the one used in the book, but I think mine will be nice in different way. It's knitting to the same width. What do you think? Should I keep going with it?
