The Return of the Knitter

Well, hello !! Any one there ??? Yes it is me, I am back kind-a-sorta. After 2 years of traveling to California and now 6 months of working from home, I am going a little crazy. Yes the kind of crazy that happens when you wake up at 6:15 for a meeting at 6:30 and then you stay all day at home working remotely and talking to people over the phone , but lacking total human contact for hours on end. So in this 2.5 years i have read a lot of books - thank you air travel for allowing me to read a book a week - but I stopped doing anything crafty, like at all. About two months ago I started knitting again, and I feel like i want to share the results with you.

I was working on this two sided cable scarf, but I was making a lot of mistakes and after some frustrating time I ripped it out and started a new with a simpler pattern, this is all a result of two very good friends who have started a knitting circle with yours truly and that was the kick in the pants I needed to get back on to the fiber arts, and I have made tons of progress.

Here is a look:

This is more detailed look:

The scarf is getting there, I need to do another feet or so, for it to be long enough for me to like and feel comfortable giving as a present. Who will it be presented to you ask, well my mother of course, since she has not received any scarfs as of yet. Next on my list, my mother in law !

Some Knitting

So I know that for the last year this has been more deck than knitting, but finally I am getting around to knit a little bit more, mostly it is the Argentinians plan to keep me home and watching TV. So since I can not sit still for 1 hour, I reconnected with the knitting needles and more importantly some of old projects. The influence of the M, also known as the Crafty one, has definitely helped. As a direct result I am done with my first scarf, here is the pic:



It is a simple red scarf, with the most basic stitch (garter stitch) and the yarn is too heavy, so it can not be wrapped around the neck comforably. But hey it is a begining !
