The Confetti Scarf Strikes Again

I cannot take good pictures of scarves. I just can't. Maybe it's because I never seem to be able to fine a living breathing model for them. Maybe it's because my photography skills are severely lacking. Maybe it's because my scarves are just weird. Well, whatever the reason, I finally got a picture of Confetti that shows off it's details.

Knitting and Reptiles Go Together...

...I think. Perhaps not but they seemed to define my evening.

Upon my way home from food shopping I saw three reptiles around my bedroom window- two frogs, a baby and an adult, and one lizard. The baby frog hopped away before I could get a good picture but I did manage to get decent ones of the adults (see above pics).

After making some BLTs for dinner (which I didn't think were interesting enough for a post of their own) I settled down for a bit of knitting. I happen to knit with very little, if any, thought as to what it is I am making. I suppose right now I'm making a scarf. I want it to be a gift but the friend in mind works in a professional environment and I suspect she might find it childish. But everyone needs a fun fuzzy scarf, right?

ETA: I forgot to mention what kind of yarn this is. It's two yarns worked together, both Lion Brand: Incredible in "City Lights" and Fancy Fur in "Electric Slide". I'm using sz 10 needles.

Hmm. I'll finish the scarf and see what my family thinks. Worse case scenario I'd find use for it, I'm sure. If i make another scarf with the same yarn but in a different colour I could make a striped pillow or rug...See, ideas never stop. By the way, one side looks a bit wonky but there's nothing wrong with the knitting. I was just too lazy to take a good picture.

Tomorrow I'm supposed to wrap presents, drop by the bank, and do some majour cleaning in the kitchen. I'm looking forward to tomorrow's dinner quite a bit: Cornish hens stuffed with rosemary and lemon, served with a garlic sauce and a rice pilaf. Mango sorbet with lemon slices finishes off the meal.

I can't wait!

Until next time,

UnNamed Scarf (WIP)

This is a very bad scan of this new WIP but it looks really beautiful in person. It doesn't look even in the scan but it is.
My mom has already sworn to steal this one from me hehehe.
Someone sent me this chenille yarn (THANK YOU!) and I got it last night. I couldn't wait to start something with it and so I did. I'm about 20 rows in now. Yes, I'm addicted to yarn.

Pictures of my almost completed shawl coming soon as well.

Pictures!

The Mabel Scarf
Made from that nifty yarn I dyed a few months ago and sz 15 needles. This is my first knitting project in a while.

More pics coming later on today.
