Oops!

I cited the wrong book for the Chevron Scarf pattern. It should have been Last Minute Knitted Gifts. Sorry. I guess one should always check one's sources. Thanks L for correcting me.

I see this scarf all over the place. Like here. So it's a big hit. Maybe not as big as Clapotis was/is. But still it's exciting. I plan on taking mine to work. I can see lots of people making this. It's easy and pretty rewarding. Although I doubt I would consider it a last minute gift. It's far too slow a knit for that. I worked on mine for a couple of hours yesterday but finally put it down so I could take a nap.

I also spent several hours working on my brown cable sweater. I'm almost done with the front and will join the shoulders sometime today. Then I'll start the sleeves which I'm going to work two at the same time. I don't usually do this but I think this approach will push me to get it done. I've already swatched for the Cobblestone sweater from the current IK.

I'm excited! I agree that it probably does NOT fall into the Last Minute designation though ;p

I think it's going to take me awhile but I made great progress during a couple of DVD's -- it's pretty enough to make me want to keep knitting to see what's going to happen colorwise but easy enough to zip along...

I love your chevron scarf Larry, and the colors look sort of Harry Potter dont they. I dont blame you for staying inside when its hot, I dont love hot weather either. I feel like I cant breathe properly amongst all the humidity and I burn quite easily too. Hope your a/c is cooling you down!
