What a nice & busy weekend. We helped the parents start seriously decorating for christmas, picked out a tree & put up all the ornaments :) I got some serious knit on & finished a stand in hat for my dad (the sweater I’ve been working on is waiting for 1 more ball of yarn to be finished) and my cabled scarf which I am totally in love with. OMG this scarf. Love love love. The color, the yarn, the stitch deffinition. Amazing! I have no pictures yet, I will soon.

Hat (pre blocking) in Misti baby alpaca Chunky weight.  This yarn is so amazing. I have desided that I am going to make a vest out of this. Specifically this vest.

Noro Striped Scarf :) YAY! This scarf could not have been more of a joy to knit. I wear it almost constantly and have yarn to start a second.  Watching the colors was truely amazing and I finished this in a day & 1/2 just because I couldn’t wait to see what the colors would do next.

Rusted Root? Really? :) I’ve been wearing this sweater for months. I’m actually wearing it right now over a long sleeved T & loving it! :) This is actually a really good sweater for me. You can see better lace detail in the noro scarf picture. This sweater is lovely to wear, a nice intro to lace & super easy. I only wish my sleeves were more poof than bag.

You made that sweater?!?!

Ok, we need to live in the same town and open a fucking boutique. NOW. You make sweaters and such, I’ll make bags and occasionally throw a scarf into the mix. Together, we will make a FORTUNE!

(and yes, I used “fucking” and “boutique” back to back, therefore making all of the frou frou of “boutique” completely obliterated)

lol I love that sweater. I want to knit it again. :) Matt says that I should start selling my knits considering how fast I actually knit, but then I fear it wouldn’t be as much fun.

BTW Ally uses your bag every single day :)
