a couple things.
i started Ene's Scarf from Scarf Style last week. the photos below were taken last thursday and aren't a very good representation of what the piece is looking like now because i spent multiple hours this weekend working on it. i've finished both charts 1 and 2 and its really starting to look great. shown below: the shawl about half way through chart 1... not much at all to look at, but what the hell right?
(i realize these photos are a little big for my layout... but details are more important, right?)
in hindsight... chart 1 is a bitch. because of a 375 stitch cast-on, each row takes forever and you don't start noticing any pick-up in the pace until chart 2 or 3 (there are 4 total) when it starts decreasing like crazy. so needless to say i'm glad thats over, although it looks pretty damn good.
i started this hat - a bulky version of the prospect park cap with an addition of earflaps. i'm using karabella aurora bulky, but ran out half way through. haven't been able to pry money from my wallet to buy more... UGH (its a little pricey for my tastes, and the fact that there is only 56 yards per ball pisses me off... but the colors cant be beat. and it feels great). so who knows when this will be done.
in other news: treschiqueveronique tagged me with one of those quiz things. now, i dont want you to think i'm ignoring it... but those things freak me out! so i'm still mulling it over in my head, i need a little more time. thanks for the tag though, veronique!

I set down my Ene's Scarf to help a fellow knitter at a SnB meetup and when I came back to it, a good 7-10 stitches had pulled off the needle and dropped a couple of rows down.
HORROR!!!! It took forever to straighten out all that. What ever you do, don't let that happen to your Ene. :-)

Ehh, I hate yarn that comes in balls with fewer than ~100 yards. It's like what's the point? They should just sell them in 100g balls so we won't have as many ends to weave AND so they don't have to print twice the amount of labels.
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to force you to answer personal questions about yourself! I'm perfectly happy seeing pictures of your knitting. (I love the blue & brown of your new hat).
I can't wait to see more pictures.. it is looking great and I love that green... I am always partial to green anyway, but that shade is beautiful!
Seeing your photo of the scarf set down on the table with the needles in the middle of a row freaks me out.
