It's DONE! YAH!

The evil hairy mohair scarf is done. All it needs is the ends woven in, some blocking and something on the ends, like tassles or a fringe. I'll take photos when I can.

I also have to block my swatch scarf. My mom says we can block it during the weekend, which is awesome. I'm so glad that that evil mohair is off my size 6 needles.

I'll probably work on my vest tonight. I have a DVD to watch - the Jeff Healey Band Live at Montreux - so I can watch that while knitting.

My ankle is still aching, but other than that, I feel a bit better now that my scarves are finished and my stomach is full of sugar.

Evil mohair! ARGH!!!!

I'm not happy.

I hate my evil pink mohair. 'Tis demonic. I had to go through the agony of fixing a dropped stitch, and then it got worse - I think I had to rip back a bit, and then I just walked right upstairs, handed the scarf to my mom and let her work her magic. It's alright now, but I'm still angry. After she fixed my scarf, I put it away and spend the next minute or two swearing. Loudly.

I think I'll work on my vest tomorrow. Wool-Ease Thick & Quick is a lot nicer that my mean, mean, demonic mohair!

Adventures with Mohair

I decided that making a dropped stitch scarf would be the best way to use up my demonic, hairy mohair. Because the cable cast-on was the first cast-on I learned, I had tried that first when I was experimenting a little while ago, but it wound up getting knotted. So yesterday, after learning the standard single cast-on when experimenting with another yarn, I started this scarf. I tried it out a few days ago, but I didn't start the scarf 'till yesterday. I'm still not too keen on this mohair (I had to start the scarf over once or twice), but it's coming along well.
