Another Perfect Crafting Weekend Ahead!

"Oh the weather outside is frightful.....". It's another horrible day in the neighborhood. I relish these dreary days. They are the perfect days for staying in and doing crafts. I am hoping the weather holds out enough that my friend Stephanie can come teach me continental style knitting. It is much faster. This could be a problem as the faster I knit, the more yarn I'll need and my wallet is not prepared! I have been cranking out projects rather quickly lately as it is!

Speaking of yarn and injury to my wallet, I just bought some Rowan Kidsilk Haze to make Fetching Knits "Fling" scarf. I love how light and airy this scarf looks. It will be a great spring or even summer scarf too. It's so tough to find summer knits!


Based on the suggestion in the pattern, I picked two contrasting yarns: Marmalade (orange) and Jelly (Lime Green).

I cannot wait to get started on this scarf! I love using bright colors. They just make knitting that much more fun. I am dying to use this super soft yarn too! Side note: Thanks to the fun lime green yarn entitled Jelly, I now have the line "I don't think you're ready for this jelly" from Destiny Child's song Bootylicious. Wonderful... Let's hope the upbeat rhythm leads to quick, upbeat knitting.

In other knitting news, I completed knitting my blue cable knit scarf over the weekend. Right now I'm working on a purple merino wool scarf. It has a pretty ruffle pattern. I'll be sure to post pics soon. As soon as I finish up the purple scarf, I'll be starting my Fling boa scarf. In other words, I'll be knitting like a mad woman this weekend so I can start my new project. I always get so excited to start new projects!

I hope everyone else gets to enjoy the gloomy weather as much as I do! Whatever you do - Have fun!!!!!
