The New Year Resolution

This year my resolution is going to be knitting orientated.

• Knit five pairs of socks, one pair being for hubby.
• Knit at least two lace scarves.

So those are my goals. I can knit other projects of course, but the socks and scarves must be done by the end of the year.

Should be.

I should be knitting, I know that. The scarves are done and there are several projects awaiting me.
The problem is I am in the middle of a blizzard. I have never been in a real blizzard before. They just don't really have in Virginia, or I should say the part of Virginia I grew up in.

That picture above is of my neighbors steps....you CAN"T SEE THEM ANYMORE!!
I'm a little nervous about this. That was taken around noon, and now there is about 14 inches of snow.

The snow is still falling so I am going to start knitting, in hopes that it will calm my growing nervousness. Fiber will help, fiber wil help, fiber will help, fiber will help.

Charity scarves

Well here they are right to left: First we have Lion Brand Wool Ease in Blue Heather- done in a simple garter stitch, Red Heart Super Saver in ??,- done in Double Cable Scarf from One Skein, unknown mystery yarn in Hunter Green- done in Garter stitch with fringe, Lion Brand Wool Ease in Camel?- done in Basket Weave with Seed stitch border, Lion Brand Jiffy in Heather Blue-done in Garter Stitch.

The only scarf that I used a whole skein for was the Jiffy. The others (not the red one) used a bit less than a skein, as that was all that was left.

Here is number 6: Lion Brand Wool Ease in Grey Heather- using the One Row Handspun Scarf pattern from Yarn Harlot.

I have knit about half way, maybe.









Here is a closer look at the design.

I am now on scarf #6. I will post some picture of the ones I have done so far probably tomorrow, when there is better lighting. I hope anyway.

For the #6 scarf I dug through the scarf patterns I already had on my computer. The winner was a pattern from Yarn Harlot. It can be found in her archives with this date: October 12, 2006. Not really sure what the name is, but the blog title is One Row Handspun Scarf. The pattern is the same on both sides and as the title indicates it is a one row pattern. Very easy to remember, and to adjust width. Both important factors for scarf possibility.

I really do hope there is some sunlight tomorrow, or at least the rain stops long enough for me to go outside to get some post worthy pictures.
