Easy fun

My new scarfywrappythingy. It's not blocked yet but it still looks ok for pictures. I am definitely planning on blocking it especially since I have new lace blocking wires to do it with.

Oh dear...

...It's been sooo long since I posted. I was doing so well for a little while and now my poor blog is languishing in the vast unattended portion of cyberspace. Sad.

I've been knitting. Just not writing.

Here's where I'm at with my knitting projects:
For my Meringue Yoke Cardigan I finally found beautiful metal buttons at Yarnover in, get this, the Ingebretsen's booth. I always thought Ingebretsen's was a bakery but I am wrong they are wonderful Scandinavian button suppliers and my cardigan now has viking dragon buttons. Excellent!

The twisted yoke cardigan is done except for the plackets, which I am afraid to start. Because every time I pick up stitches to knit the plackets I pick up either too few or too many, or pick them up unevenly, and the sweater puckers and stretches in weird ways. I'll get there eventually.

In the meantime though I knit a beautiful shawl/scarf/wrap thingy that was easy and fun.

I am also in love with garter stitch and need to find some new projects.

Oh, and I'm still procrastinating on my Master Knitter program. It's such an undertaking, who am I really to be attempting to get certified as a master knitter. I kind of suck. Well, not really, but I definitely lack some skills. I guess the idea is that it will help you get to be a master knitter, but I'm not so sure. I just want everything to be perfect the first time. That's not unreasonable is it?
