I started the entrelac scarf with the Twisted Sisters yarn I bought last weekend. I'm not loving it right now - maybe as the scarf gets longer it will bring me some joy. Right now it's just something to do to pass the time. I however, would not feel bad if I found another pattern and tinked this one. Anyone have any suggestions for another pattern? I would even be willing to try a simple lace pattern for this yarn. It really is pretty.

Twisted Sister Yarn
I picked up some of the coolest looking yarn the other day with the intentione of making an entrelac scarf. I'm on the second tier and I don't like it right now so I think this may end up being a clapotis scarf.

Urban's Fault
It's all Urbans fault. Here I was being all monogamous to my Liberty afghan and she distracted me with these Chinese Waves dishcloths. The first time I tried these I didn't like the pattern, but now they are just plain east and great for tv knitting or sitting in a noisy room or with a friend knitting. Are we allowed to blame others for our knitting ADD? I hope she knows I'm kidding

One Repeat
Yahoo!!! I made it through the first repeat of this blanket. I am still liking this enough to actually continue it. Since it is not a boring pattern - it makes for an interesting knitting. I really like this and actually want to finish this. I think i will back this with a polka dotted cotton backing. I have no desire for anyone to pull any of the strings asking what is this and pulling the strings the wrong way and messing up the blanket. I can't say that the reaction would be good - but definitely involuntary. What are y'all knitting? I know that I am not the only one who happens to be knitting right now.

Fourty Rows Deep!
I'm fourty rows deep and then I discover the glitch in the pattern. Ok It's really knitters error. Guess what? I like the glitch and the glitch will stay! LOL Happy Mother's Day to all of my fellow Mama's, Mama's Mama's and Mama's Mama's Mamas!

Two at a time
I made two burp clothes at once. I needed something to do that was mindless. It worked. I finished both of them on the train in less than three days.....
Liberty - Fair Isle Attempt
Hey! I just made my first Fair Aisle and Steek attempt in the same projec t oh yeah and reading a chart. Not at hard as I thought. How come I keep stressing myself out with the instructions instead of just trusting the patterns? I seem to have knitting trust issues. Any old way - because I'm not comfortable reading charts - I just wrote down the numbers for each row. Sounds tedious? It was but you know what - it made me have an appreciation for someone who creates the pattern. That is a feat in and of itself! So far I have about 12 rows done and there are 70 rows for this pattern. It's not hard at all - just keeping the yarn from tangling is my only issue. This pattern is found in the Mason Dixon second book.
Oh yeah - Fair Isle is not hard when you only do two colors. I will attempt to do the Dragon in the book Scarf Style.. But the Dragon Scarf is one of those - I will work on it after I clear up some of these other projects that have been sitting around.
What are y'all working on?

What would you do for $10?
So we are out eating at a Chinese Restaurant and ChickenusWingus says - I need some money. So Mr.Floozy hands him a pepper and says eat it and I'll give you $10. This nut pops it in his mouth and starts chewing with his little chest puffed up and says it's not hot cheerfully. I looked at him and said are you crazy? Anyway about 30 seconds later this was the look on his face.
Double Orange Chicken & Rice $3.95
Eating a hot pepper $10
The look on his face and realization that the pepper is really hot....Priceless
