The head cold that had been flirting with me made a move the other day. It didn't let me go about my business and muddle through the day. No, instead I had to take two long, extended naps. I'm not big on napping because it's precious time that could be spent on something more tangible. If I do go down for a nap, it's the equivalent of calling a truce and waving a white flag.
After I surrendered, I came out of my cold-induced naps feeling foggy but on the road to recovery. As is my nature, I felt compelled to make up for lost knitting time. After all the holiday season is upon us.
I knew I didn't want to pick up anything that was too taxing or required too much thought. All I could handle was a mindless movie and effortless knitting.
I grabbed the project bag with these little goodies and got to work.
The most challenging part was counting and re-counting the cast on. With a little effort I got all 252 stitches on the needles. After that it was full steam ahead.
Dipped Infinity Scarf. I just added the third color in the progression, and I'm hooked. I can't seem to put this down for one of my other projects. Maybe after one more color . . .
This week's color inspiration is all about contrast.
Vivid outside, mellow inside.
I had a plan for this past weekend, but I encountered more interruptions than I thought were humanly possible. The full moon probably had something to do with it. Anyway I feel lucky that I came out on the other side with something to show for all my time and effort.
Last month I added a scarf kit to my booth. I had several requests asking when it would be available online. I'm happy to report that the Dipped Infinity Scarf Kit is now available on the Dirty Water DyeWorks website.
This pattern moves from dark to light by dropping one color and picking up the next one in the progression. The kit uses 8 colors of Julia and is available in shades of blue, green or purple.
Needless to say I didn't have as much knitting time over the weekend as I had envisioned. The short row section of Tower Mill Shawl is finished.
Next up is the lace and cable section. And now I'm off to make up for some of the knitting time I lost over the weekend.
