I went to the LYS today and worked on the Simple Chevron Scarf. I'm almost through with the ball left-over from the first half, which makes me a little over half-way through the second half. Just a few more days of this and I'll be able to start work on something more interesting.
In the meantime, check out how cool this is. My mum's friend, Kate (no relation), does metal-working semi-professionally and makes her own jewelry. The talent is palpable, as evidenced by that gorgeous earring she's made.
Kate's invited to take me to SAFF this year. She is a beautiful person. This does mean, however, that I'm now on a yarn diet. No buying yarn until SAFF. With my own money, at least -- mum's buying yarn for her sweater.
In the background, there is the Chevron Scarf, being itself. It's going to be gorgeous when it's done, but the going is tough, blog-wise. I'm still working on Blight as well, but it's fairly repetitive right now as well and I can't seem to get good pictures of it.
I'm slightly worried it won't block well, seeing as it's partially acrylic. I might have to steam-block it and I don't know that my steam-iron will actually do the steaming part. Plus, I was hoping to block it here instead of at home. Mum isn't supposed to see it until Christmas.
