Well I worked on the second scarf for 9-scarf vest but I am not gonna show it to you since its the second bias strip and you will think I am trying to cheat by posting yesterdays picture, doctored up, and merely claim I finished two. I also started the Artyarns scarf. Has anybody done dbl knitting? I have done it where you knit or purl a stitch and then bring yarn forward as if to purl and slip next st so that you have to work to and fro to complete 1 round or row. This pattern has me knitting or purling every stitch with instructions to make sure such and such yarn is over or below the other. I am finding it fiddly. Is that how 2 color dbl knitting is done? Gonna spend some time in research mode. Especially since I made a mistake in bottom border pattern so had to rip back. Obviously I didn’t take that to the drs office with me this morning. Instead we worked on this:

Japanese Lantern yarn is so wonderful you couldn’t possibly believe me no matter how much I raved. Really. Go buy a hank and play with it. This is a one hank scarf pattern and I notice the tag that came on yarn said 155 yds but the website said something like 80 yds? I want to knit a sweater for myself out of this stuff and mentioned it last night to Gina. She apparently hasn’t designed a garment in it for fear of it being cost prohibitive! Oh Nooooooooooooo Mr Bill. I mean I am not petite and I personally would knit this yarn more densely than the label calls for in st st** and guessing ~ not like I am swatching maniacly for a garment isntead of doing the scarf. I wonder how much I will have to knit to earn a sweater’s worth of this yarn?

TTFN knitbuds. You know the drill… go fondle yarn and spend some time knitting already!

** I like my fabrics kinda dense to begin with and often either knit really loosely for drape effect or firmly for body effect. Hardly ever at gauge specified.
