All the cool kids

Seem to be making this scarf. Not to miss the bandwagon, I jumped on with my version.


Project specs: I cast on 28 stitches using Araucania Aysen in color 807 (pale turquoise/yellows/terra cottas) with 1 skein of Malabrigo worsted in Azalea (red-purples) on #10.5 bamboo straights. Knitting this scarf is very hypnotic: not only is the pattern rhythmic, but watching the stripes emerge is impetus to keep knitting far past the hour to go to bed.
I'm working on the 2nd Breast Cancer Comfort sock, but I'm also winding yarn for a big ol' Dumpling Bag. 'Cause I can't have too many bags *snorts*.

And for you Joann crafters out there: 50% off baskets this weekend! Meet my new home for the non-transportable works.
