My Ravelry page has been rather a fly in amber over the last few months. Not much going on over there for me. Frankly, I’ve been pretty much just doing socks lately, and I mostly don’t document those – just pop ’em on my feet.
But I did pick up some Misti Alpaca handpainted sock yarn as a souvenir in Maine, and did up a Lace Ribbon scarf . I wanted a longer, skinny kind of scarf – multiple wraps ’round the neck, or a long, loose drape – so I took out two of the pattern repeats. It was perfect train knitting – quickly memorized, small, portable. Best of all, it’s not a sock, so it really wanted to be photographed:
Yes, it’s VERY long.
But very pretty. I think it’s a good’un, myself.
Pretty – very colorful.

Oh, that is very pretty! And with the spaces, you can wrap it around your neck several times without feeling like it’s a metal ring!
Gorgeous! I really love that colorway. I really like the width, too.
I stumbled into a (fairly) local yarn shop yesterday and walked out with four skeins of sock yarn. I had heard this store existed, but it has not web presence (seriously!) and I never figured out where it was. I really wasn’t planning on buying any yarn, but when I walked in, all their sock yarn was right by the door. Then it hit me–Drew’s mom, who’s never cold and is therefore a bit tricky to knit for–has feet! I could knit her socks! Drew decided he would like some soy/wool/silk socks, too.
I cast on my first attempt at toe-up magic loop socks today.
That is just lovely. I am so envious of folks who have the patience for knitting.
ummm did I mention that I’m TRYING to focus my knitti g efforts and reduce the embarassing number of WIPs I have… This doesn’t help. ‘cuz it’s gorgeous and I want one!
Was it fast? How long? How many yards of yarn?
Oh, it’s lovely!!
