Picture Update!

School goes apace, and been crazy busy with homework and such. Here are the long promised pictures of the complete scarf:
The first is a shot of the whole scarf, note the distinctive 'wave pattern' (hence the name). The second picture is a close up of the waves themselves, and thirdly a detail shot of how the yarn moves with the pattern.



I've been using the scrap yarn to make some fingerless gloves using stockinette and waffle stitch. One is finished but the other one I ran out of yarn. I'll have to buy another skein to finish it, and only once they're finished as a pair I'll add some pictures of them as well. In the mean time, I've been using my black Red Heart Super Save to make some double ribbed gloves.

It's been a little while!

I must apologize for disappearing off of cyberspace for a little bit there! I had two tests in the same week, then spring break, followed by two more tests-not to mention work and everything else that happened all at once. In more needley news, I finished the scarf! I've taken pictures and will post them up tomorrow. I also tried to start a hexagon pattern with crochet, but got stuck on some technical terms, so that's on hold whilst I try to iron out the details. In the mean time, I'm using my left over painted yarn and trying to make some fingerless gloves using a waffle stitch pattern. It's pretty fun, but if you accidentally add one too many rows at any given spot you have to rip back for a while to fix it, which is making me cross-eyed. But it's still fun! Thank you again to everybody who's been supporting me through everything! This weekend I'll be out of town and internet range, as I'll be cavorting through the woods LARPing at Shadowmoor! See you there!

A little hooked

Started relearning how to crochet yesterday. Chain stitch? No problem! Single stitch? Moderately easy-I'm pretty sure I'm doing it right. Double stitch? Doin' fine! Getting ahead of myself and trying to make an advanced lacy hexagon from a pattern? Kind of way more difficult! It's okay though, I'll figure it out eventually, that or find someone to help me translate the instructions. The scarf is coming along marvelously, I've finished two repetitions of the pattern, and it's about 2/5ths done.
In news of a witchy persuasion, I found out the hard way to be more careful when reading almanacs! I accidentally was reading last year's calendar for March and not this year's when trying to determine the vernal equinox. Luckily, the two books I ordered off of Amazon have shipped out as of last night, and today marks the beginning of me checking my mail every day. Things are coming along swimmingly!
