The harf...

I finished my sister's hooded scarf on Saturday, just in time to give it to her on Sunday. She left me the sweetest voice mail the other day, saying she didn't like coming inside because it meant she had to take it off!

But, dummy that I am, I forgot to take any pictures of the knitting or my sister wearing it. I've asked her to send some along. Hopefully it happens soon.

Ah, knitting.

I thought I was going to have some things to show off here by now. Like a finished apple hat. Maybe a finished hooded scarf.
But nope.
It's all in-progress still.
I finished the hat, only to realize it's woefully huge, and that my gauge went all wonky when I switched to double-points. So, I saved the failure, and cast on again. I want to finish it, but really need to buckle down with my sister's scarf, because it's got to be ready for Christmas, in just a few weeks. How did that happen?
And, because the new hat is all on double-points, I'm afraid to bring it anywhere because I don't have a decent project bag.
Wait! I think that's what I'm going to ask for from my sister! A new project bag for small projects. Oh, Etsy, here I come!
