the seven hour itch I've spent another couple of nights with my alchemy scarf (info here) and new things are happening. I was worried it might repeat itself, but this second section looks quite different from the first.
It's gotten so boring though that I spent the previous night's knitting time dreaming of starting a new project. So I dashed out with wee one yesterday to pick out some yarn for the baby shrug I want to make from Vintage Baby Knits
I wonder how many nights I'll be able to keep myself from starting this one. posted by alison at 5:58 pm | in

The scarf's coming on beautifully. Love the Koigu KPM--perfect for the project! Posted by: Karen at July 31, 2009 7:10 PMNot many I'm guessing. I almost bought that book tonight but my Borders coupon did not cover it & since Baby M is going to be 3 in November (although she is very wee) & she's almost certain to be my last grand, I just can't bring myself to pay full price for it. In fact, I had said no more baby books but, since this one has so many cute patterns & was written by the wife of a HS friend of my other daughter, I thought I'd make an exception. Then too, if that shrug can be knit in Koigu, I can probably make the largest sie in DK to upsize it to fit M (if the largest size won't fit.)

Posted by: Johanna at July 31, 2009 11:23 PMI took one look at this scarf and dropped by Purl on the way home from work Thursday and picked up two skeins of the Alchemy. I absolutely can't wait to begin it. Thanks for posting about it - I never would have thought of it otherwise. Posted by: Woolybelle at August 1, 2009 9:36 AMI love that purple yarn! Posted by: Pom Pom at August 1, 2009 10:32 AMAlison, I love the Koigu, it's beautiful! I knew you would pick out something great! The scarf looks so nice and smooshy. I think your Mom and I are both very fortunate people right now. Posted by: Robin at August 1, 2009 10:40 AMI like to think how happy I'll be to have it finished and jump into some intense movie viewing. I really love it. Perhaps a great road trip, or having tea with your mom could get you through it. Posted by: Angie at August 1, 2009 5:45 PMThe scarf is really pretty, but 1x1 rib just drives me to distraction. I'm not sure I'd ever manage to get an entire scarf done that way. Posted by: Seanna Lea at August 3, 2009 12:10 PM |
