Well, I finally decided that if I wasn’t going to work on the scarf, then I should redo it. So I started from the other end of the two balls of yarn, and am working 12 stitches wide on size 11s (the previous attempt was 20 stitches on size 10s). Turns out I have a nice habit of casting on too tight, so it’s a nice size the first two rows or so, and then it becomes its true size. So yeah, I cast on at least 3 times due to it still being too wide or making a mistake (miscatching one strand of the two yarns, and not being able to figure out where it was supposed to be). We’re making progress. =) I’ve decided to be creative and occasionally knit a small section with just one of the yarns. Kinda fun.
In other news, the Voodoo’s are making some nice progress without me fully realizing it. lol! I’ve got about 3 1/2″ already.
oh, and non-knitting news. over the weekend, I made some votive candles and tarts scented like Polo cologne for my sister. the downside is that the color dye plotted against me, and so they turned out a really nasty brownish green color. maybe I can find a colored holder so she won’t have to look at their ugliness and can just enjoy the scent!
oh, and in other non-knitting news, today I made bread. from a box, with yeast. what a fun sticky mess that was! but it turned out good and tastes yummy. I want to make more!
