Rip, Rip and Rip Again

So, I'm working on this lace sweater for a friend of mine who was supposed to be coming sometime this week. Apparently he's not. THANK GOODNESS as I am having a heck of a time with this pattern. I had to rip the back at least 4 times before I decided to utilize stitch markers to mark the pattern and keep me focused! I need one of Lynn's magentic boards so I can leave the repeat as the only thing I can see on the pattern and prevent any further confusion.

As you can see, I've come about halfway up the back in this picture. There's also a picture of the sweater I'm working on. It's Reid from knitty.com. It's CUTE AS CAN BE and I know she'll just LOVE it. I love the color, too. I can't wait until it's done, but at this rate that will be in like 2 months. I'm being such a slacker on my blogging that I can't remember much of what transpired that night. I don't think there were any memorable quotes, but if there were I can't seem to find them.

OH, I

finished

and BLOCKED the 30 stitch cable scarf. Here's a picture of it finished. I think it looks pretty cool! I might make another one in a darker color for a guy. Maybe a navy or something.
