Here's the Red Scarf for you, in all it's hard-to-photograph glory.
Pattern: 2x2 rib over 48 stitches
Yarn: Lion Brand Wool-Ease
Needles: Susan Bates US 8 Circ
Started: Saturday January 21, finished Friday January 27.
No, Einstein's didn't take it. I'll be donating it locally to a shelter here. A little peeved though.
Not a lot of knitting for you today - my thumbs hurt (the bottom part in my palm) and momma tells me could be carpal tunel. Must rest hands. Worried that this will delay the completion of the Turtleneck Shrug, but what are you gonna do? It is joined for the neck right now, and is horribly ackward to knit. It's like two legs getting twisted around each other every round.
I did cast on the stitches for my second Jaywalker, to take to work tomorrow - the shrug is not portable at this point. We'll see how the hands feel.
In place of knitting, you get mememememememe!
I have to say, that it may be nerdy of me, but I love getting tagged! And ms. pea tagged me, and I can't resist.

Your scarf looks warm and wonderful! Poo on Einstein's, but some lucky recipient is going to be very happy when they receive your beautiful scarf. Take care! :-)
ReplyDeleteI can't believe they turned down your scarf entirely! Would you mind telling me what location you went to? I'm definitely writing a letter to their corproate offices.
ReplyDeleteHow interesting that the two places you've lived both start with "Fort."
ReplyDeleteOk, I need to get a life.
Love the scarf! I'm sure it will end up keeping someone quite warm.
Jenn -
ReplyDeleteJust visiting and wanted to let you know I was here! I've yet to try the Jaywalker socks - (I know everyone else has) - but thought I might do them for sockapalooza - we'll see.
I enjoy your book list - If I could just read and knit at the same time - have you ever tried Audible.com - I'd have to join the rest of the world and get a iPod first. Am not sure I can listen that carefully and knit at the same time either - plus I just like the relazation of reading. Oh well.....
Knit on!
