Perhaps unsurprisingly, the scarf I posted about on Monday is my primary project right now, and I am pleased to find that I have nearly finished it *grins* This is particularly helpful as I am heading back to see family this weekend and can hand it over if it is fully done.
See, very small ball of yarn remaining *smiles*
The top picture does have another project in it - which I was working on during my "I-hate-this-scarf-don't-wanna..." phase *laughs* It's nothing particularly exciting, but I have been planning to make leg-warmers for ages and it's cold now so I cast on.
First one is nearly done. Knitting this has demonstrated quite clearly why I don't particularly like the jumper I made with this yarn... I like brown, but this is so flat and boring a brown. There is no variation, nothing catches the light, it is just all one flat brown. Ah well, it'll keep my legs warm at least *laughs*
The book in the top picture is the third in the Maze Runner trilogy. I think I mentioned before that I don't think these books are particularly well written, especially compared to some of the other young adult fiction out there, but I am still really enjoying them which is what matters ;)
As ever, if you want more lovely knitting and yarn along content, head to Tami's and Ginny's *smiles*
I really like the look of leg warmers peeping out of boots. I want to make some for me, but now it's coming into summer so it can wait!
ReplyDeleteLove the stitch pattern on that scarf.
Love the leg warmers! It is something that I have been thinking about making for my daughter...but maybe I should make some for me as well :-) I am a child of the 80's after all!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous scarf and I think the legwarmers look very practical, but I know what you mean about knitting in a flat colour - zzzzzzzzzz!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great week

Knitted leg warmers, what a fantastic idea! *runs to ravelry in search of pattern*
ReplyDeleteI can remember leg warmers the first time too!!
ReplyDeleteI love how your scarf is turning out, it is brilliant! And yay for leg warmers, I made the kids some when they were little and can't help but think I deserve some too!
ReplyDeleteLovely scarf and I think it's wonderful at how enthusiastic you are while knitting it! I hope it is cold enough to wear when you cast off.
ReplyDeleteThat scarf is beautiful - I love that stitch pattern. I have one in progress for my husband, but other projects just seem to pop up every time I go back to work on it! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea, knit legwarmers! And I'm happy to see you are definitely making progress on that scarf-- so awesome~!!
ReplyDeleteThe scarf is beautiful - love that yummy Malabrigo, and it works so well with the stitch pattern.
ReplyDeleteyour knits are so lovely natalie, you'll be so cozy this winter!
ReplyDeleteYay for WIPs! I've been finishing so many things recently that I'm in danger of having nothing to reach for in the evenings. Must rectify that.
ReplyDeleteI love that excitement of an almost-finished project, the ball of wool getting smaller, so exciting!
The scarf is really pretty! I love leg warmers. I haven't knit them in ages.
ReplyDeleteMmmm that scarf! Malabrigo scarves are really the best!
ReplyDeleteThat is a really small ball of yarn; but don't you find that last bit always takes waaaay longer than you think it should:) I agree with you on the brown. Maybe you should have striped another colour in to perk it up? Not now, though, it's fine for legwarmers.
ReplyDeleteOh I've been wanting to cast on some leg warmers too! Seeing yours makes me want to get some yarn for my own pair. Good luck on finishing the project, you can do it!
ReplyDeleteI asked my daughter if she wanted me to make her leg warmers and she said no BUT she has been wearing mine (original legwarmers from when I was her age in the 1980's...yes I kept them) I like yours. It's nice to have an easy project to knit when you are on the go.
ReplyDeleteI like the look of the pattern you are using for the scarf.
ReplyDeleteThe scarf looks great!
ReplyDeleteI know just what you mean about the color being flat. Maybe you need to add some sort of embellishment to your sweater to make it more exciting.
