Oscar Night Glitz
I'm still in the mental recovery mode after last week's busy-ness, so I didn't want to fool around with anything intricate or challenging last night.
I got out the froo-froo (I'm sure you're supposed to spell it 'frou-frou' but I think 'froo-froo' better conveys tackiness) yarn that I bought in Florence a couple of weeks ago and started a scarf. I garter stitch for four rows, then do a row with yarn-overs, then let the yarn-overs drop in the following row to get the long stretched-out rows.
I cast on 25 stitches, using 10 1/2 needles - I'm wanting this scarf to be a little wider than the chenille scarves I made as Christmas gifts. As I hoped, this is easy and mindless knitting, perfect for the mindless Oscar telecast.
I had to use the "IP Banning" feature to take care of some spam problems. So if your legitimate comment is rejected, I apologize in advance for the inconvenience. Like anything else in life, a few bad apples spoil the barrel.
