Nothing new

 I've not cast on anything new to knit, which in itself is a surprise. Instead I have been working on some UFO's, which is a good thing. I had been working on my 10stitch blanket, mostly to show Mum how it was done. But, I've now gone back to trying to finishing a vest I bought wool for. I am trying so hard to be a good girl, and get some things finished, and not listen to all those patterns that keep calling out to me. They will just have to wait until I have a few needles to free up.

Yes, this is a short post, but I really just need to get some knitting, and reading done. My right hip has been so sore, and pain is so very tiring, it doesn't really leave much room for thinking clearly. Which is why my knitting is just simple - or what I consider easy. I suppose that is why I have the 10 stitch blanket on the go, it needs no thinking. 

I had such fun

This was such a fun project to knit. I love working with color, and this was right up my alley. It is a Kaffe Fassett pattern, called simply Striped Scarf. I have had fun picking out different combinations of colours for this and have already cast on for another one. I have blocked this one, but it will persist in curling. It annoys me, so much so that I have decided to make it a double sided project. Using different colours of course - hey, it's a good way of using up some of my stash!!!!!  and it is such a fun project. 

I had thought about folding it, and sewing up the long side, but didn't like the look of that. I felt all that beautiful colour was getting lost. Hence why I am making another one.
