This week I must have started four different projects, only to put them aside within the first inch. Looking for a take along project, can't find just the right thing. Sort of a knitting moodiness, I guess. This morning, I think I've found a solution. I blocked Clapotis, which turned out to be more like 12" than the 8" I originally thought (not a problem with the pattern for anyone else who is making it, more a problem with my eyesight), and as I was doing it, I thought, hmm, this would look pretty as a thinner scarf. So tonight, I will dig into my stash (I think I have something in mind) to come up with some yarn and start yet again. Feels a little bit like when I finished my first Charlotte's Web and just had to make another.
I took some photos of the scarf blocking but they're not very interesting so I'll wait until it's dry to post a final photo. I tried to keep it on a diagonal, but can't exactly tell how that will work because I ended up pulling it down over the edges of the bed (I placed it diagonally across the double bed in my guestroom). I may have to invest in an inexpensive runner for scarf blocking.
Weekend knitting goals: work on the Einstein Coat, pick up the remaining yarn I need for it at Yarns International, maybe a quick trip up to Woolwinders and try not to spend too much money....
