so i’m back!  i’ve started some new projects and finally getting around to working on some old ones.

i’ve taken on the daunting task of knitting a s12 tom baker dr. who scarf.  this sucker will be about 13.5′ after completion.  if you’re interesting in making one too, i got the pattern from www.doctorwhoscarf.comdr. who yarn i’m using hobby lobby’s acrylic i love this yarn! to make the scarf, that way it’s washable.  with it being so long, it’s bound to drag in the dirt at some point.

i spend my sunday afternoons are crazy girl yarn shop in coraville.  we’ve have an ever-expanding group of knitter that meets there every week at noon.  not everyone’s there every time, but we’re getting to know each other pretty well.   i even met a woman who’s a shiatsu massage student and i’ve become one of her clients now.  caitrin is FABULOUS!

dale from knit group has finally finished his first scarf and has continued onto another.  he deconstructed a sweater from goodwill, dyed the yarn with rit dye and is now making an awesome cabled monstrocity!dale

and then this week, mom helped me get the squares for my quilt put together and i layed them out tonight.  i’m super excited.  and just by chance, i layed them out on mom & dad’s bed with the orange comforter and LOVED it, so i’ve decided to put an orange border around the outside.  common threads quilt shop is having an open house this weekend, so i’m going to go find a good tangerine fabric.
