Stretching My Abbilities
Isn't it cute? Now I'm working on a pair of matching fingerless gloves. I already knit almost one when I realized that unless I was planning on swelling up anytime soon these would never fit. I had to rip them out and start over.

Red Scarf Project Finished!
This was a very satisfying project to do. And for such a good cause! It supposed the Orphan Foundation of America, which collects handmade knit scarves (in any variation of red) to give to parentless teens on their way to college. For a lot of them, it is the first handmade gift they've ever received.
It's probably hard to tell by the photos, but I used a nice pattern called the open-check stitch from the 365 Knitting Stitches A Year Perpetual Calendar. There's so many great patterns to try. I used Lion Brand Jiffy (acrylic with a mohair feel) and went to town. Unfortunately, I ran out of yarn with 20 inches to go and frantically had to search all over town for supplemental yarn (I eventually had to drive a half-hour to get more of the same yarn!). But it was well worth it. I hope the person who ends up with the scarf enjoys it forever...
