Needles Report Friday

I had one of those weeks where all I wanted to do was knit.  It was calling me at work!  "Susan--Susan--put me in your bag and bring me to the office--no one will know---"  Have you ever had a project like that?

I finished the Age of Brass and Steam Kerchief in a week!  Talk about instant gratification!  Here it is on the makeshift blocking board.  This was my first attempt at a triangular shaped scarf.  Just love it!! No pic of it off the blocking board, but I was surprised at how soft it is.

I also cast on another scarf, Churchmouse Yarn and Teas Simple Sideways Triangle Scarf:  Well now it is over 2x the size in the picture.  ;)

Both were knit in Cherry Tree Hill DK.  I bought two skeins last year--I wanted fingering weight and didn't know that  "DK" was heavier.  Sigh.  I am learning.  And I am excited that I got to use something from my stash.

And the sweater report---I finally drove over to my LYS, The French Knot,which is over an hour away.  Totally worth the trip!  Leona sat down with me and showed me a couple of tricks for my sleeves that made a huge difference!  I sat and knitted with them for an hour before the shop closed.  The woman next to me was making another pattern by the same designer, and I want to make that sweater too!

I need to use the two triangle scarves as gifts, but I really want to keep them!  This weekend is a girls trip to Shreveport for a great sprint triathlon.  Hoping to get some power knitting done!
