To Knit Or To Blog...

...that is the question. I chose "knit" this week. I have also chosen "knit" instead of "clean" this week. And I have a couple of FO's to show for it. But Blogger's photo uploading feature took the night off, so I can't get all of the photos posted. I'll have to try again tomorrow. So all I can show is this dishcloth (kindly ignore the mistake rows, thank you very much). I adapted the pattern from the Yarn Harlot's One-row Scarf pattern - I love this pattern! Unfortunately, I got into such a groove knitting it (knit, knit, knit through the back, purl), that I forgot the side border a couple of times, hence the mistakes. Since it's only going to be used at home for cleaning, I decided not to frog and just leave it as it is.

Bitsy likes it - she did not even snarl once when I put her to work modeling this for me

I also finally got around to taking some pictures of some new stash that I nabbed at a Fall Fiber Festival. It was a small affair, held in the parking lot of one of my favorite yarn stores. I love the buttery soft handpainted merino from Crafty In a Good Way. I had hoped she would be there, and she was! And, wouldn't you know it, just when I got to her booth, it began pouring. Of course, not having an umbrella, I had to stay there under her tent in order to stay dry, giving me lots of time for yarn-petting. And in the course of all that petting, I bonded quite closely with several of the skeins. Their colors were so rich and saturated in the middle of all that grey wetness. I wanted all of them, but had to settle for these 3:

Socks (eventually)

I can picture this turning into a Baby Surprise jacket

These skeins are literally Criquette-sized - each has over 500 yds.
Can't you just see this knitted up into a lacy fall stole?

Okay, I've let myself be distracted by the blog but it's time to get back to knitting. See ya'll later!
