I am expecting some work today and tomorrow so will be busy busy bee soon enough. Until then I am trying to clear off my knitting plate. Here is the Irish Hiking Scarf aka stealth knitting project done in some stash yarn. I only had a foot or two left over yarnwise and it is a bit short but I am not measuring until post wash. I suspect it will relax a teeny bit. If not eh its long enough for me so certainly more than long enough for Ms. Zoe. After finishing weaving in ends of the scarf I bit the bullet and started the edging of the much ignored black shawl. It is trucking right along and I hope to have pictures by this time next week at latest. Ya ya ya work coming in today and tomorrow but a couple of repeats-8 rows of 5-9 sts each a day it should be done in no time ;^>

Wanna see something super cute? Sure you do. I absolutely positively HAVE to get these. Too freaking cute.

TTFN knitbuds have a great yarny day and knitterly evening.

I have been indulging in a little stealth knitting. If you don’t know what stealth knitting is IMB it’s unauthorized knitting. Not the holiday sneaky knitting but ack I have 3 things due for work and 2 WIPs but cast-onitis strikes again so I will stealthily sneak in another project. Actually I am halfway done. Irish Hiking Scarf calls for @350yds of WW yarn and I just happened to have 2 hanks of Creative Yarns International WW wool sitting around. Yardage unknown but close enough. Ms Zoe asked for the scarf and loves the yarn. So here she is with one ball down and one to go:

She will be a teeny bit shorter than the pattern but 51″ is more than long enough for a 8 yr old’s scarf. There is a knitalong associated with this scarf but I didn’t bother joining. First off the leader has gmail which I am not sure I want to deal with and secondly my joining a knitalong is almost a guarantee I won’t finish the project. The site also has another free scarf pattern in case you don’t want to follow the crowd.

In other non-knit related news: Once again the evil health problems strike. My father was rushed to the hospital yesterday. I will be driving out to visit until next week. Will catch up on Monday. Til then yarny days and knitterly evenings to all.
