New on the needles

Last night, I got out one of the balls of Colinette Isis from my last shopping spree, and got started on a simple garter knit scarf. It took a couple of false starts to get the right needle size (10 1/2) and the right number of stitches to cast on (17) for the vision I had in mind. Chenille doesn't agree with too much frogging, so I had to discard a couple of feet of yarn that got a little too chewed up.

Here's a blurry picture:

I am using some old aluminum needles that are really bugging me. They're too slippery and too long. I have a total of three of these scarves to do; this might justify getting a better pair of needles. This is nice, mindless knitting that progresses fast enough so as not to be boring.

I'm also chugging along on Lochinver, and about to finish the first sleeve. Probably only an hour or so to finish the cuff:

The second of the two grey Regia socks is also on the needles, but haven't picked them up in a few days.

We're headed up to my parents' cabin this weekend; I might take all three projects up so I can knit whatever suits my fancy!

Comments

The scarf will be perfect knitting for the drive to the cabin; that is if you don't get car sick while knitting like I do.
