Scarves!

Well here is a pic of the partially completed Bright Column Scarf done in the green/white variegated yarn which is a baby soft 4 ply. I am loving how quickly it is coming along, perhaps that is due to the pattern repeating every 6 rows so you feel like you a flying through it!

You can just see the horrible red plastic needles I am working with, they just aren't pointy enough for all the p2tog and k2tog that are in the pattern. That's my computer table, it is a lovely old wooden table with turned legs that I have grand plans of sanding back and re-varnishing but alas it still hasn't made it that far. Perhaps one day when the pigs are flying.

I don't think I can really call this a scarf, it is a bit too short for that. It is actually meant to be short as it is (as I call it) a Tuckeriner. It tucks in to that space between your coat and your neck with out the bulkiness of a full scarf.

I started this late late last night while watching The Sopranos. I had an itch to knit but wanted something brainless while I was watching tv. This is just a couple of balls from my stash. A chocolate brown acrylic (fairly generic) and a ball of Emotive Hip which is in a nice purpley blue. Pretty happy with the colour mix and it is all done and waiting to be sent to my sister.

Going to have to sit down and work out what knitting to take with me to Sydney. Can't have anything on the plane like knitting needles - especially during APEC. Security is pretty tight in Sydney at the moment with so many countries leaders here. They should have these sorts of meetings in the outback, not a soul in hundreds of kilometres! :)
