So I'm a knitter. I am. I crocheted for years but I haven't once since I picked up the needles. I
started back in January and the progress felt pretty slow for a while. I seem to be getting faster and (maybe) even better now. I had done some basic dishrag patterns but nothing super complicated. Well, enter Wee Folk Art and their beautiful
Spicer's Scarf. It's by far the most complicated pattern I've ever done. Lots of K2, YO, K1, YO, K5 SL1K, K2T, PSSO, etc. And I CAN READ THAT! Crazytown.
We went camping this past weekend and I had quite a bit of time for this...
and this....
and this...
It was so relaxing. Maybe I'm still in the "honeymoon phase" with knitting but I'm always amazed at what can come from a string and two sticks.

I'm yarning along with Ginny at
Small Things today. I'm reading
Equal Rites by Terry Pratchett
and I've also started
Pompeii by Robert Harris. Both on my nook.
