Still Stealth Knitting...
Oh, my!
Has it been a whole week since I was here last?
Well, the red cardi for the child's American Girl doll is nearly complete. I have an inch or more left of the hood and three wee buttons to sew and it will be done. Photos will definitely be forthcoming.
Several months ago I worked on a pair of socks out of Opal self-striping yarn. It was one of those projects that I had taken into work with me to fiddle with during lunch. One of my friends in the office was quite taken with the socks. Once I finished them, I tucked them away in a cute little box with the thought I would give them to her for her birthday.
Well, her 60th birthday is upon us and I gave them to her the other day. She could not have been more pleased. She immediately put them on and has worn them twice more since then.
It is such a pleasure to put thought, time, and effort into something that someone else actually enjoys.
I would love to knit more socks, but they are so very time consuming, particularly those done in the finer guages, i.e., size 0 or size 1 needles.
Out of the ten pairs of socks I have knitted, I have only claimed one pair as my own.
Hmmm.
Maybe once my Christmas knitting is complete, I can remedy that.
In the meantime, one of two gift scarves are on the needles and it is turning out quite beautifully. Again, pictures will follow.

I have some Noro that I need to use up and am thinking I will attempt an Entrelac Scarf for my ma. I may need some tutelage on that though . . .
Let's see 'em!!
; )
As to the entrelac scarf, will be happy to talk you through it. It will take more than one skein of noro, though. How many do you have?
The green scarf I did originally was in Plymouth Boku. I used two, maybe three skeins at 99 yards a skein...
I made it before I was actually on Ravelry and did not keep good notes back then.
