Topic: Knitting
I finished my newest scarf today.  It is called faux lace and I knit it in a pink multicolored yarn I dyed as a class sample this fall.  I had started it right after it I dyed it, but then lost some interest.  I liked the pattern I knitted alright, but somehow it didn't speak to me.  Last night, I needed some  yarn to take to a 16 hour continuing legal education class. I am required to do continuing education every year to keep my license. These classes don't keep me on the edge of my seat, so I take some easy knitting along.  I finished up the scarf and then knit a swatch with the rest of the yarn and saw how I liked it in some different stitches.  I think if I had knit the swatch first, I might have knit it in a different pattern.  But that would be playing by the rules.  I knit that scarf in a dk weight wool yarn.  Tomorrow I'm taking along a fingering weight baby alpaca, silk, cotton yarn I bought at a silent Auction at Olds College this summer and going to use the same pattern.  It is a very subtle camel color and soft yarn.  I'll be interested how different the yarn will look.  Linda
