Thanks to two bloggers (jodi & Amputeehee) all available knitting time has been taken up with Naruto on You Tube. I’m totally blaming y’all for the fact that my house looks like a train wreck and the family is eating cup ramen for dinner.
(*snicker*)
I still check the stats on my old blog.. and it seems I’ve been getting some interesting hits..
um.. yeah. Not much going on around here at Chez Mousie.. mostly knitting and tv watching. I don’t watch much tv but I’ve suddenly gotten addicted to “CSI: Miami” and have been watching it every night.. basically trading one idiot box (computer) for the other (tv). The only thing it DOES do is give me more knitting time.. since I’ve yet to come up with a way to type and knit at the same time. So between CSI and the Magic Loop method - I present.. A FINISHED OBJECT! (crowd goes wild!) Unfortunately its NOT my NoroVember project.. but instead its the soul sucking Harry Potter - POA scarf! This baby is HUGE as you can see from the first photo.. but I am really glad that I kept knitting on it because its absolutely perfect in length. Its also unbelievably warm since it was knit in the round with WoolEase yarn on size 7’s.. but I’m sure I’ll need it in the morning for the bus.
Pattern: Harry Potter POA scarf -
Yarn/Needles: Size 7 US / WoolEase Cranberry & Gold
Modifications: I made the scarf dramatically more narrow than the pattern calls for - since I live in Georgia where it doesn’t get cold enough to warrant a 9 inch wide double knit scarf. This one is about 5 inches wide and is about 6 feet tall.
I’ll NEVER knit this scarf again.. mostly because it took entirely too long and started sucking my will to live at about the two foot mark. I would however do this on my knitting machine.. since it would be done in mere hours vs. the YEAR that it took me to handknit it. I’m pretty sure that it would still be sitting around in my knitting basket if it weren’t for how quickly I can knit with Magic Loop.
I’m a total Project Runway fan and I am so happy that my favorite designer won — Jeffrey Sebelia!
I was really happy when they decided to go with a final 4 since the styles of the final designers were so varied. All in all I think that Jeffrey had the most talent and innovation out of the entire group.. and I’m glad that he’ll have the money and recognition from the show to help carry him to the top.
(and now I have to go to bed because its entirely past my bed time..)
