This weekend’s knitting goal is to finish this:
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?
Thanks for taking me shopping!
Oh, and while I’m thinking about it, here is the squirrel mitten pattern: http://www.helloyarn.com/squirrelmittens.htm
oh my god, do you see they have a COFFEE PRESS COZY on that site?
next project!
Ok, somehow, I pictured my yarn prOn as being a bit more… sex?
I LOVE the colors you chose. Bright and happy. I have elann’s wool in those shades to do a purse with.
Haha, that pattern is new!
Ooooh, but coffee press cozies are mucho sexay!! I’m off to look, cuz the only thing better than coffee from a press is TWO HOT CUPS of coffee from a press.
And there is NOTHING at helloyarn.com???? NADA, no squirrel mittens, no *sob* coffee press?
Love the colours in that yarn!
The Owners Of My Favortie Yarn Store make fun of me because I Only buy Blue or Purple Yarn. Not on purpose! It just always like the Blues and The Purples!
I also buy The Same Black A-Line Skirt over and over, too.
I have that same felting kit, purchased through Patternworks.
