I need to take lots of pictures to post. I have a pair of socks that were a gift and A sock that I knitted the mate too. Not to mention the AFGHAN OF DOOM and the ugly warm socks. Maybe I'll do that this weekend. Who knows.
OH and there's the top down raglan that I made for a knit-a-long that is poufy in the back and I probably won't wear it ever. I'll probably just donate it or I might send it to Mom. It might fit her and she might wear it. If not, oh well.
I'm currently working on the Henry scarf from knitty.com. I've never done a waste yarn cast on. I've never knitted a scarf lengthwise. 400 how many stitches?? I ripped it twice before I finally got the pattern in my head. Now, I don't really read the pattern so much as just count the rows. I know where the slipped stitches are supposed to be. My brain apparently wasn't functioning this weekend when I was working on it. It's gonna take FOREVER as the slipped stitches aren't easy to knit in such a small yarn with such a tight knit weave look. BF LOVES the pattern though, so it's always worth it.
The cast off should be pretty interesting, too. It's kind of a kitchener stitch with only one set of stitches. I just hope I can pull it off and make it look as nice as it does in the picture. I'm using a lighter grey yarn, but so far it looks cool!!
