Okay, I have to admit, the baby blanket is very pretty! Here's a scanned shot of it.
(Of course I still have to put the strips together..next time I'll forego the "portable" and just make it all one piece.) Matter of fact, I think I might make a couple more of those.
And..while goofing around, I discovered a way to make moebius scarves on a circular needle (that I won't have to seam..) and it's fun! Cat Bordhi shows how to do that in her Magical Knitting book I think, but since I don't have that book, I just goofed with it til it happened. Think spiral..cast on...knit one row, join that, then pick up another round and knit from there on.. Spiral happens. I'm sure that sounded perfectly clear as mud. A nice long corded circular helps, short ones won't do as comfortably.
I promise to put all this stuff together and have dear Toby snap some pictures so you can see. It's one of my resolutions.
Now...what to do with 9 balls of green and 3 more balls of brown acrylic/wool blend? Got that blend on purpose, so as not to accidently felt something by accident. Somewhere there is a nifty afghan idea that won't tax my brain too much, but will still be fun. I'm searching...suggest something!
