Crafty Finish

Well what else is there to do when you are home sick on the couch? Pull out some knitting needles and yarn and finish some of those U.F.O.s which I did today. Mainly the pair of magic scarves that I have started one was from vacation and one was started not long after. The first is the lovely black motif that can go with nearly any choice of wardrobe. I thought to do something different with fringe so I only added it to the corners and like the results. Knitted out of black Red Heart yarn from my stash.


The second would be a splash of color, unlike the first magic scarf pattern that was knitted on a pair of US 8 this lovely was knitted up on a pair of US 6, in a lovely James C. Brett Marble a wonderfully soft acrylic blend that is machine washable. Now this particular yarn is noted for being used on double point needles but I had little less then half a skein left and decided to turn it in to a short scarf or scarflett that could easily be worn with a broach pin to dress up outfit.
This is what my couch looked like after a days worth of knitting. The large overflowing zipper bag contains the Einstein Jacket I am working on for my dad if the bleeding yarn will ever come in! Every shipment seems to lack the yarn that I have been looking for. The project on the needles is a pleated project, well the one the pillow that is. As you can see there is a bag of knitting implement and tools by the pillow along with my lovely pink measuring tape.


All in all not a bad days worth of knitting and listening to an audiobook while sick on the couch.
