Woolgathering Dot Net

We didn't have ice cream after my knitting circle last night, perhaps due to the rain and the dreariness of the evening. I worked on Sara's scarf for a while, but I think the US11 needle is too large. I think I need to utilize a US9 or US10. The seed stitch was pretty, but I might try something a little fancier. Perhaps the crocus bud stitch I worked with previously.

I frogged the piece and worked on my PoA scarf again.

A bit better picture. Just started the 10th repeat.

Perhaps in future I will make a Ravenclaw scarf. The Gryffindor colors are my favorite, but I think I would be sorted into Ravenclaw.

Last night, I borrowed three DVDs from the public library: The Greeks, Crucible of Civilization, Shattered Glass, and Clueless. I popped in Clueless and started knitting up my Bottom's Up Bucket Hat.

I've done about 20 rounds, switching to the larger needle before I got sleepy. Yesterday afternoon, I spent time cleaning my terribly messy study and I found my US7 DPNs! Just in time!

Working with the chunky KFI yarn, I decided I didn't like knitting with cotton. It's not as sticky as acrylic, but I didn't care for the texture and I kept splitting the yarn with my needles. This thinner yarn was much better and I was able to work it easier. The cotton feels cool, so I probably wouldn't enjoy working on it when my arthritis flares up, but otherwise I am enjoying the texture. The more I work the hat the more I like it. I can't wait to wear it!

Tonight, Van Helsing screening. Wooooooo! I know it'll be bad, but it's Stephen Sommers directing, which means it will be an enjoyable bad. Plus, Hugh Jackman. Yum.
