Itchy but Pretty

One Saturday, not too long ago, Noah and I were walking along the downtown mall, and being the amazing man that he is, wanted to buy me some new yarn. In the spirit of being frugal, I haven't bought any yarn in a long long while, so this was such a wonderful present. I knew what I wanted to make, having seen JaKnit's suggestion of the Cowl. So, I found this beauty at the LYS:

That evening I immediately went to work, and just recently finished the Beech Wood:

I think this yarn is very beautiful and very natural-looking, but I wasn't thinking when I picked it out for this particular project, because it's also itchy on my bare skin. Therefore, I plan on wearing this when I'm already wearing a turtleneck. One thing's for sure - it will keep me warm!

I am also working on this little number, the Reversible Cable Scarf:

This is for my co-worker and friend, Jackie. She saw it one day at work and one thing led to another and I asked her if she would like for me to make her anything. She made eyes at the scarf in my hand and that was that. I think it suits her well, and I know for sure she will appreciate it.

Men Knit

I saw this on the internets, but can't hear cause this computer has no speakers - so hopefully it's funny!

Took long enough

I finally have a moment to catch up on my picture posting and I wanted to show you what our radishes look like from our garden. This photo was taken a few weeks ago when we conducted our first harvest from the garden. We ended up eating these in one of Vade's famous salads.

The Second Coming

Tonight is the second installment of our knitting club. We haven't come up with a spiffy name yet, but we'll hopefully work on that tonight. I'll also be working on taking some pictures of the gathering. I just emptied my camera of pictures last night, and I still had pictures from the weekend Noah moved from Brooklyn. Talk about a back log of photos. You gotta cut me some slack though - with two jobs, there's only so much time for the non-essential tasks. I am looking forward to a few hours of girl talk and some progress on my reversible cable scarf. As usual, no promises, but photos of my project will hopefully follow. How "hopeful" can a girl be?

Happy Halloween
