Been Busy...

but not busy enough! I need to get moving on my sister's scarf. Her birthday is April 4th and I want to knit a little bag to put it in as well. So far...

not too bad, but I've got another 2 skeins after the two balls you see! I might not do the full 4 balls though, have to see how it goes.

One cool thing I did yesterday was make my own needles! I went to Lowe's armed with my needle sizer and bought some dowels. Then I came home, cut them, sanded them, and oiled them. Not sure if I wan't to seal them or not yet. Last night I got some sculpey to make some decorative ends.


I think I'm ready to work on my first sweater. I have some Jo Sharp mohair to make a wrap sweater but I think I'm going to try wool. I ordered some highland woolthis morning from Elann in Grand Canyon and Orange Brandy to make the Ribby Cardi from ChicKnits. I hope it's not too hard, lol! At least the yarn wasn't a huge investment in case I totally screw it up.

Well, off to work on my scarf....
