Knitterrific

In case you've been wondering, yes, I'm still knitting. Right now I'm working on a scarf that's actually holding my attention. And by "holding my attention" I mean "is complicated enough that I'm now on my third attempt to get going without errors." When you're using size 2 and size 3 needles and fingering weight yarn, and when each row has 400 stitches in it (the scarf is knit lengthwise), starting over three times is decidedly unfun. That, and I hate casting on. Hate. Thankfully, though, I'm a few rows in and it looks ok. Fingers crossed.

For those of you who have no idea what fingering weight yarn is or why size 2 needles can be infuriating, I'll be much less technical in discussing my other recent project, a modified version of this pattern. All there is to say is that it's done!
