Day 6

Reminded me of a smaller repeat of Day 5???

Slow and Steady...Day 5

Slow going for me...but I figure if I can get 1 or 2 sections a week, this is a viable goal for me. I can't knit the lace with little kids around, it's just too distracting and I tink and frog way too much. I don't like the frog pond, so I prefer to do all I can to stay out of it. The more I can stay motivated on this the better--as Insomnia's Scarf from the year before took FOREVER to finish. Day 5 has the knit double decreases in the center of the columns, which I really like. I did find this day to be more challenging than Day 4--so it did take me a bit longer to finish this section.

I am really enjoying seeing everyone else's completed and almost completed scarves! Beauty in the holes...who'd have guessed?

Onto to Day 6!

Day 4

And I'm 1/2 done with Day 5.

I'm the straggler but that's okay, slow and steady. I have too many UFO's and these scarves are NOT conducive to childcare and house management...argh! I refuse to put my scarf in the corner until insomnia hits me again (like last years scarf!) yet I am compelled to keep at it in bits and pieces. I am a "all or nothing" kind of gal, so even this is a challenge for me...but that's okay! You all will get the mistakes worked out for me and I shall prevail with corrected pattern in hand and hopefully finish this before 2011. :LOL!

Day 3

Moving a bit slow but enjoying each day so far...

Pics of Days 1 & 2

Day 1 (upside down)...technical difficulties apparently.

Day 2 is right side up...like the little triangles on this one.

Days 2 & 3 together.

Anyone have difficulty with the eyelet row?

I am having to do a sl 1, k 1, psso instead of the k2tog. Either my Addi's and the Royal aren't compatible in this area, or its the garter rows below the k2togs that are making it impossible to do those--have to DIG at the 2 sts to get them together...

Because I am crazy I shall knit on...:GRIN:

Inspiration...eh, procrastination?

Blocked and finished on December 31st, 2009. Cast on December 31st 2008.

New scarf cast on December 31st, 2009 and GOAL: to finished BEFORE December 31st, 2010.

Wow, this took forever...but I am very happy with it!

I'll be casting on...

January 1st~I hope some of you will join me!


I am planning on using some Blue Sky Alpacas Royal as I have yet had a chance to knit a complete project with this luxury yarn...am really looking forward to it.

Color:
Vermilion

2 skeins I hope will get me through Day 24! Thinking about size 3 needles...do I need to swatch? Eh...maybe.
