Knitting news

I finished the Scottish Wave Mobius Scarf courtesy of running around in the car, as a passenger of course. There is nothing like sitting rush hour for getting knitting done. If anyone else decides to use the Brown sheep super wash, didn't have enough yarn for the last two rows of red. My red was placed where the red in Magical Knitting went. Probably needed another 10 yards. One skein is enough of the black even with an increase on the third to last row. It is currently drying after being 'blocked'.

A couple of more hats got completed. One of the is fairly wild with pin stripes on it.

Now time for the report on recent knitting purchases. These happened since the last report. I now have Socks Soar on Circulars, The Magic Loop, The knitting Almanac, and One Skein Wonders. And I think I want to get Andean Knits. It doesn't help that I was already out of shelf space where the knitting books are being kept. Then on the yarn front, I picked up 3 skeins of Encore, and 4 skeins of Pagoda at The Cottage Yarn sale. Looks like the magic loop will be used for the Pagoda. Also, picked up a Chibi and a graph tracking board with magnets. I like the magnets and board. I have been using them with the Oregon shawl chart.

And the other news, is I did 5 rows on the Philosopher's Wool Sweater. This is a big deal because I usually do two at best. The best part is that it didn't bother my left arm. Of course, I spent 3 days doing the 5 rows. Currently, I have a rule about no more than 2.5 rows on it in a day.
