yarny FO’s and a naughty bit at the end

the endless scarf is done!

very long scarf

it is hugely long and I love it. I did end up having a little yarn leftover, so…

it’s a nose warmer!

nosewarmer

my nose gets cold. what of it? pattern from knitty. you will note I didn’t add the tassel at the tip, because geez, THAT would be just silly!

and finally, the naughty bit…

along with yarn shopping on friday, we stopped at my favorite little novelty store. Mollie made a good purchase, but she’ll have to share that story. I already have an order on the way from JT’s (story coming soon), so I was just there to browse. Until I saw one of these, and HAD to pick it up for a couple of bucks:

nipple nibbler!!!!

what is it? like flavored chapstick for your nips, and meant to be…mmmmm…tasty. like Kev NEEDS any further encouragement, but hey, it’s all in fun!

review: very strong raspberry scent, but flavor is more of a kind of minty eukalyptis, which is what causes it to be also very TINGLY. Oooo…tingly nips!

overall: kind of overpriced, but still fun. 1 thumb up.

This weekend’s knitting goal is to finish this:

endless WIP

the endless scarf. I want to use the rest of the yarn up, which will make it a very loooonnnnng scarf.

Why the rush?

Today I went yarn shopping with my newish local knitting friend Mollie. I went with a purpose: to revive my knitting mojo by making myself a laptop sleeve! My mojo has been suffering. Probably because I’ve been doing projects that seemingly endless - scarf, shawl, the second sock…

So I splurged and bought ALL THIS:

in addition, I will be learning a new skill! needle felting! The sleeve will be the blue, and I’ll washing machine felt it. The pink and green will be needle felted (see the kit behind the pile?) on to the sleeve, making lots of curly leaves and flowers. hooray!

The more color astute of you will notice a blue theme. Maybe I’m in a blue phase right now. What of it?
