going down to Kansas City this weekend for a feis and their Irish Festival. woohoo! leaving shortly. quick update:
* stitch markers for September will be sent out on Tuesday after I get back
* Sunday? I started making a Soap Bag. I’m about half-way done.
* Monday & Tuesday I worked on the Potato Chip scarf. It’s finished, aside from weaving in the ends. (I think it took a little over 6 hours. I decided to CO 100 sts. double that a couple times and by the end I had 800 sts on the needles! ooh, boy that was a pain in the patootie. very happy to have my Denise set - I ended up adding an extension on twice - so I had three cords - almost 48″ tip to tip, which ended up being more than enough space.) I used TLC CaraMia in Winter White which I got on clearance + 50% off at JoAnn’s. Knit on US 10 1/2 needles. I only used 1/2 the skein. Trying to decide if I want to make another one…
* today I used the leftover wool from the Aran hat and made an SnB Nation mouse for Kashka. I used some red Galway wool doubled for the stripe and did two stripes, cuz I was fearful of running out of yarn. Used size 6 needles. It took about 1-2 hours. I forgot to put catnip inside it while stuffing, so I rolled it in the bag of catnip - she was a happy kitty for a while. and I won’t be surprised if the mouse is nicely felted when I get home. ;)
