Percy adorns my new skeins

Percy, one of my four cats, has carefully tested out the texture and softness of my new Pastaza yarn (Cascade). He seems to like it.

Here is the scarf I've been working on, almost done, and I love the pattern!

Next up--well, I don't know. Maybe I will do the poncho/baby blanket that I got from SWTC.

June 10 Worldwide Knit in Public day

If you are in the San Francisco Bay Area, the South Bay setting for the WWKIP is Los Altos at the plaza located where State and Main intersect. It's June 10, 12-2 p.m. and we will knit in that plaza or anywhere else people want to sit down on a bench and work on their project. If you would like more info about the WWKIP project, check here:

Twin Rib Scarf As a Gift

Here it is, my latest project! I'm making a twin rib scarf for someone at my school who is moving on this summer to a different job (in a cold climate!). Every project has to be a new challenge, so I'm trying out the two-row requirements of the twin rib pattern. (Width is multiples of 6 [24 for me], Row 1 is K3 P3 and Row 2 is K1 P1 and repeat; I'm using #10 needles.). It's not hard, but I am using my row counter to keep on top of the rows I'm doing so I know where I'm at. The yarn--Pastaza from Cascade Yarns in a burgundy color (048). It's more than worsted but not quite bulky, and the texture of this scarf is spongey! This yarn is great because it's soft, woolly, and NOT itchy. (It's llama and wool, 50/50.)
