I mentioned in my last post that I had started a Lizard Ridge blanket. I'm now over 2 blocks in. I realized that I only did 3 of 4 repeats on the 1st block, so I need to un-bind off and do another repeat, but I will do that at a point when I run out of yarn to start a new block, I think. I'm loving doing these blocks and feel fairly optimistic that I will actually have enough to make a blanket by August. It may not be as big as the pattern dictates, but at least big enough for a lap blanket.
I also am working on a crochet project for a Ravelry swap. I don't want to give that away, though! I'll post pictures after the swap package is received!
At work, we are doing a traveling scarf, and I am supposed to have my first portion ready to hand off to the next person on the list tomorrow. I have about 3 inches done and need to have 5-7. I'm using size 10 needles and only have 24 stitches/row, so I think I can get enough done to pass it on.
Soon I'll post pictures of my finished Lizard Ridge blocks!

Let's try this again
My last attempt at picking this blog back up was an utter failure, as is evidenced by the 6 month lag in posts between now and then. I'll give it another shot.
I've finished many projects since my last post. Here are some pictures:
I made this pumpkin bag as part of a swap on Ravelry. It's modified from a pattern on the Lion Brand website.
This iPod cozy is my first ever design! You can't see the details very well, but I used Noro Silk Garden and created ridges using the front-post stitch. I finished it off with a picot border.
You can't see this scarf all that well, but it's a Boteh scarf. I used Berocco Ultra Alpaca Fine, and the scarf is very delicate. I recently made another one (pictures to be downloaded still) using Plymouth Happy Feet that I think I like better.
I could have sworn I had more pictures to share. What else have I done? I knitted a scarf for my husband for Christmas. I knit an Edgar scarf.
Aha! Found a picture of the Edgar:

I crocheted a cute little birdie and egg for another Ravelry swap. I knit a Flirty Neck Warmer from the One Skein Luxury Yarns book, which is very pretty. I bought a gorgeous shawl pin from a seller on Etsy for that project.
Currently I'm learning to knit socks (not much progress so far, but I'm getting the hang of it), and I started a Lizard Ridge blanket. I'm hoping the blanket will be a gift. I'm very proud of having learned to do short rows for this project! It's so much fun and very addicting. I had to order myself 3 skeins of Kureyon online so I could continue, since I knew I wouldn't be able to make it to my LYS anytime soon.
Hopefully I will remember to post here more often now. :-)
