I’ve been wanting to make this scarf literally for months, and I finally got around to it!

I’m wearing it right now, and it is 100% squishy, cozy goodness!

This scarf is made from 2 balls of Classic Elite’s Liberty Wool Prints. This is really lovely worsted weight yarn, and the chunkiness of the variegated sections is absolutely perfect for this scarf!

The other scarves I’ve made for myself were long and rectangular, but this one is an intriguing wide but shallow asymmetrical triangle sort of shape. Very fun to style!

Details of my project can be found on my Ravelry page.

My fabulous friend and coworker Dolin wrote this pattern, and you can download it from Ravelry for a mere $3.50. Totally worth it, because you’ll make this again and again. The pattern includes instructions for making both this worsted weight version and a fingering weight version!

My big employment shake-up is dragging on a bit, as one particular event has been postponed about two weeks. In the meantime, I’ll be trying to scrounge up more projects I can polish off before any major changes occur!

Ever since I made this basket yoke pullover, which came out really big and I have a terrible time keeping on my shoulders, I’ve been wanting to make another one. Well, I managed to get a smaller version finished around the New Year!

There are more details and photos over on my Ravelry page about this project. This one is actually two sizes smaller than the first one.

I like this version TONS better. It doesn’t fall off, for starters. And it isn’t super baggy in the back like the other one. Though I have a feeling that the size between the two that I made would probably have been the best size. But, hey, live and learn. I’m just learning about sizing for knitting. I knew I wouldn’t get it right the first time around!

Just for fun, here’s a comparison between the two sweaters. Fortunately, this was really fast and easy to knit!

Last year after I made the linen stitch scarf for my friend, I made my husband and I matching linen stitch bookmarks with the leftover yarn.

I thought it was really fun to use, but, sadly, I lost mine at the train station one day. I went back to look for it, but it was gone (I knew exactly where I had dropped it).

So, after finishing the red linen stitch scarf for me, I had just enough yarn leftover to make myself another bookmark.

And now we can tell them apart.

And we lived happily ever after.

Happy New Year!

Well, I’m definitely in that clear-out-things mood again. But, truth be told, I’ve been in this mood for a while. I think it’s the sign that I’m ready to make some big changes for 2012, I just haven’t yet figured out what they’re going to be!

In the meantime, there’s sewing and knitting and crocheting to do, right?

Ever since last Christmas when I made that linen stitch scarf as a gift for my friend Carrie, I’ve been wanting one for myself.

According to Ravelry, I cast on this project June 20, 2011. It hasn’t been my top priority. It’s been more of my go-to brainless project when I wanted something to do but didn’t have much brain capacity.

Well, I finally finished it! I cast on 50 more stitches so it would come out longer than the other one I made, and I used the exact same yarn (but in a different color). I’ve been wearing it constantly ever since I finished it!
