Aquarius
January 20 – February 18
Some gossip about a friend who has recently begun a new relationship could reach you today, Aquarius. This might come as a surprise, as you’d never have expected it of this person. You will be glad, because you want your friend to be happy. Don’t be afraid to call and ask to hear all about it. It will be a pleasure for both of you!
*Gossip…Humm, family gossip? friendly gossip?

I finished “Rustic Scarf” this morning.
This was a fun little project. Its very soft and cushy, it’ll make a very comfortable neck wrap!
The body has a slipped stitch every 5th stitch and a garter stitch edge. I used 2 variegated sock yarns a lace weight iridescent yarn and 3 solid color yarns. Based on an article in the Lion Brand yarn catalog. Lion Brand used Amazing,Alpine Wool and Vanna’s Glamour for their scarf
“Rustic Scarf” an easy project for a beginner, an infinite number of color possibilities
Color blending was the technique I decided to try. Stranding one of the self-striping shades of “sock-ease” sock yarn with a solid worsted weight yarn. There are so many possibilities…its mind boggling and very rewarding!

Anyone who has ever counted stitches or calculated gauge knows that math is an important part of knitting and crocheting. Woolly Thoughts, a pair of “matheknitticians”, designed an afghan that makes 10 colors look like 55! The design is based on triangular numbers–the number of dots that fit in an equilateral triangle, in case you forgot–and uses 10 colors double stranded in different combinations.
WOW, this is an amazing afghan! Lion Brand web-site has amazing yarns, free patterns and the Lion brand blog…you’ve gotta check it out!!

I am feeling so inspired right now! I want to go to the Lion Brand web-site and buy some yarn and MAKE SOMETHING, HAHA, heaven knows I have enough yarn here in my stash! I am still going to do it!
maybe I should finish “Triple Delight”, I have the buttons picked out/ordered. YES, I am going to finish this project before I begin another, maybe that should have been my “News Years” resolution…
I started this project back in November of 2010. It’s a cowl that is knit flat then I will attach it diagonally and add the buttons, they’re just a design accent not functional.
I only need to knit 3” more then its bind off time.

What’s Next??
I in the past 2 hours decided to cast-on another project…”Katsara Windsor Scarf” in Paton’s classic tweed. it’s a feather & fan stitch or variation on the particular stitch. Whew…I feels so much better now, heaven forbid I don’t have at least 4 knitting projects going at one time…LOL
