Well...Hello there!

That was a nice two months break from blogging. I feel refreshed and ready to go! I'm excited to be back. I have some projects I've finished that I've been dying to show off. There is only so many times my hubby can live through my "ta-da" show and tells. Bless his big heart!

This scarf has become my new favorite. I love the colors, the yarn, the pattern, everything! I have worn it basically every day since I finished it. It makes me happy - all those fun, vibrant colors!
The pattern is from Brooklyn Tweed (found here). My friend Jen made this scarf a while ago, and ever since I have been dying to try it. I am not such a fan of the Noro, well, I like it a lot, but it is just too scratchy for me. Instead of Noro, I used Nashua Handknits Wooly Stripes yarn - two skeins each of the purple passion and rolling thunder.
I just love the color changes. The first day this yarn arrived at my door, I immediately sat down and cast on for this scarf. Then I knit for 3+ hours straight, without any breaks, which turned out to be not smart. I couldn't knit for two days after that, and even then my arms were still pretty sore. Hard lesson learned. I was just so excited to get started on this scarf and with every color change I wanted to keep going to see what color was next.

I really enjoyed making this scarf. It was fast, simple, and the end product is just beautiful. I think I might even make another one - sometime in the future, and this time I'll be sure to take lots of breaks. Maybe next time I'll try four different color waves instead of just the two.
