I can't believe this is the first hat I've ever knit. It only took a day, and I'm really happy with how it turned out. Next time I'll do something a bit more complicated, but I wanted my first one to be really simple. The yarn is Sheep Shop yarn - sheep number two in color F110. It's incredibly soft and not the least bit itchy. I knit it on size 10 DPN's. Now I'm off to go test its warmth in the Syracuse snow!

Feather and Fan Scarf
After frogging the bejeweled scarf, I decided to reknit the yarn into something different. This is the feather and fan scarf I found at extravayarnza.typepad.com. It's a skinnier scarf so I hope it ends up being long enough!

Bejeweled Scarf Progress
I'm about halfway through my skein of yarn and I realized that this scarf is going to be WAY too short. I should have known, seeing as how the skein is 220 yards and the pattern calls for 270. Even so, I'm more than a little short, and I doubt I can dye more yarn to match these colors exactly. Plus, I don't really like how scratchy the Patons yarn is on my neck. Well, I definitely have more yarn in the stash so I'm sure I'll start this project again with a softer yarn. To the frog pond!
