And once that was off my wheel, I started this:
Bamboo/Merino blend. Kettle dyed by a little dyer down in Eugene, Or. I've since lost her card... I know it's around here somewhere but I can't find it. This is just about worsted. It's knitting to 4.5 sts/inch and it wants to be a little sweater. I bought just over half a pound, so I should have enough for a cropped sweater or something like that. And I have a partially finished February Lady Sweater to show you. Body done, just working on the sleeves. And once that's off my needles, I HAVE to figure out what is wrong with the sleeves on S's sweater so that I can finish that project that's been taking up needles for nearly a year. So I'm busy in fiber and I'm coping at work, even though I'm still bored and feeling frustrated. We've been busy lately, weekends have been quite full. Which is why I've been MIA. I'm hoping the tomatoes will finish ripening before we freeze. It got down in the lower 40's last night and my heater actually ran for the first time this morning. So I'm worried that they won't ripen any further. The bushes are still COVERED, but it hasn't been warm enough or sunny enough to finish them off. The rest of the garden has been a bit of a dud. My squash never started to produce. Lots of flowers, but no squash. Cucumbers put off a couple really nasty looking guys before dying off. Eggplants & tomatoes did really well though. But I'm off to work, so I'll get pictures of the scarf & sweater as soon as the light cooperates.
