So, Cria hasn't had more than a couple of rows worth of attention, but I am itching to pick it back up which is definitely a good sign. And I haven't forgotten about my fuzzy ballet sweater, really! I just put it to one side when the Cria motivation kicked in and haven't got round to finishing it off. Well, that's something that can wait until deadline knitting is done *smiles*
However, I have started mum's scarf. I haven't done very much, but I wanted a relatively simple but small knit to pick up when I need a break from the present knitting, and this seemed like the perfect project. Plus, mum would probably like it sooner rather than later *laughs*
It's also nice to be working with yarn that isn't dark blue this week ;) It's Colinette Art, a wool and bamboo blend and I'm enjoying knitting with it.
Mum - I hope you like how it is turning out!
As ever, you know where to go for more works in progress and yarn along posts ;) Although you may have noticed the lack of a book in my pictures for the yarn along - unfortunately I am rubbish at balance and can't get enough knitting done if I'm enjoying a book too *laughs* I know some people swear by audio books, but I read so quickly that audio books always feel so slow to me. Ah well, plenty of time to read soon!
Oh so pretty! I like the yarn you chose, it looks great.
ReplyDeleteIt's looking good :)
ReplyDeleteLove those colors!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty scarf. Mad panic in a couple of weeks? Unavoidable in my world, knitting or not!
ReplyDeleteLove the yarn, its looking so good!
ReplyDeleteI love the lacey pattern, beautiful
ReplyDeleteSo pretty and the colour is gorgeous :-)
ReplyDeleteThat is so pretty! I am in the craziness of christmas knitting as well...although I am posting pictures of it all...and hoping no one is actually paying attention :-) I second the reading fast bit. I always feel like the audio book moves so slow! And sometimes the reader totally kills the book for me...so I prefer to read myself.
ReplyDeletepretty :)
ReplyDeleteVery pretty - I love the laciness on the edge too!
ReplyDeletesuch a pretty edging! mom will love it!!!
ReplyDeleteOoh, I'm knitting that as well! Hopefully it'll be my first ever finished knitted object :) Your yarn looks beautiful, and the variegations are lovely.
ReplyDeleteRubbish at balance? I do love the way you phase things...beautifully!

i like the colour- it match so well.
ReplyDeleteYour comment about looking like a knitting ninja made me laugh! I have yarn A.D.D so I totally understand having all those casted on projects, it keeps you on your toes! Live life on the edge... Thanks for making me laugh
ReplyDeleteBeautiful yarn on that scarf! I'm glad to hear that Cria is percolating along, looking forward to seeing how it turns out!
ReplyDeleteMum's sure to love it! And if she doesn't you can send it to me! LOL!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty; I am sure you mom will love it. I do love audiobooks, but only because then I can finish a book and knit. They do take longer, but I can fit reading/listening in at otherwise busy times. Of course, right now it is all knitting all the time.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure your mom will love the shawl - it's looking beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLooking good! I really like those colors!
ReplyDeleteI try to get into audiobooks but my mind tends to wander since my computer isn't loud enough for me. Being hard of hearing is a drag at times. Other times it's a great way to pretend I didn't hear something stupid. ;)
ReplyDeleteI love the pretty design and the fun yarn colour!
ReplyDeleteA perfect gift!
Beautiful! I'm starting to approach the gift knitting panic myself. AAAYYYYYY!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLovely colors.
ReplyDeleteThe yarn looks lovely, I'm sure mum will be very happy. As for gift knitting, well, I started around a month or more ago and I'm still panicking! Hoping to get another 3 hat/scarf/glove combo's started AND finished, plus finished the ones I'm half through!! Eek.

That yarn looks so soft and cuddly, I love it!
ReplyDeleteIt's true that audiobooks are slow, but it's nice that someone does all the voices of the characters for you. I had a book that was set in Ireland, so it was nice to hear the irish accents!
ReplyDeleteLove the scarf and the yarn!
Very pretty :)
ReplyDeleteOohhh, what pretty yarn! The colors are so amazing. Love the edging, too. I have had to set aside my sweater knitting, too. It will be gift knitting 24/7 now.
ReplyDeletedark blue/black knitting does require a little break now and again! These beautiful colours look like the perfect rest for your eyes.
ReplyDeleteThe scarf looks great, I love the colours and the edging! I'm glad you're loving Cria again. :)
ReplyDeletelove the colours in that yarn!!
ReplyDeleteyour scarf looks lovely, i'm crossing my fingers you get everything done in time (you WILL!) i'm sure your mum loves it, i would LOVE anything my girls made for me.
