...and a scarf, too. i think. i haven't written about the broken rib scarf, right? too bad if i have, i'm gonna write about it here.
ok, so i finished a scarf, using noro kureyon. i LOVED working with it, the wool was so soft (been using a lot of acrylic lately which can be a little harsh). i loved the colorways individually, but not together (two different 'colors' used in one scarf--the colors vary wildly within a skein but the two skeins did NOT go together well. but then, i've never been a fan of orange and purple together.) i did like the pattern a lot, i think it's called a 'mistake rib knit' but i keep calling it a broken rib. whatever. the pattern is 'child's rainbow scarf' from the book, last minute knitted gifts. here are pictures:
i don't know who it's for, but it's definitely a size for a child.
next, i've started joining my rose afghan squares, even though i haven't finished all the squares (remember, i need to make 70. SEVENTY!! i have about 45 done) i think they look pretty good together:
those are just the first two rows together, i now have five sewn together (i have about ten more squares, but i need to weave in ends. and i am joining seven squares to each row. only five more rows to go!) i really hope this thing stays together, i am going to be heartbroken if it falls apart!

Your squares are great!! I haven't knitted in ages and i totally need to get back on the needle. I'm so jealous of your noro kureyon. That stuff is sooooooo nice to knit with! *wool envy*
I love the scarf!! It's so bright and colourful. I just know whoever you decide it is for is going to look gorgeous wearing it this winter. Definitely want to see pics!!
Are the 'rose afghan squares' knitted or crocheted (not sure if that is spelt correctly)? They look like the blankets I have crocheted before... Can't wait to see the finished product :)
I love that scarf too.You should start Etsy-ing.I would buy something:)
I am trying to decide if I will finish Jun's quilt/afghan thing I started last year. Sewing the squares together has got my stuck. ANy tips?
kim, i am trying this technique: http://attic24.typepad.com/weblog/joining-granny-sqaures.html
i found it doing a search of 'joining granny squares' and found a lot of different ways to do it. i like the above method because it doesn't add to the afghan, and the rose quilt already has a lot of brown in it!!
good luck, i really hope you finish your afghan for jun. i would love to see it!!
marianne, i don't think i could handle etsy...and sadly, i can't sell this scarf because of copyright laws.
