It's Done!

I finished the Irish Hiking Scarf. I don't plan on going hiking anytime soon, so I guess I'll just have to wear it to work. It came out beautifully and I'm very happy with it.

So tomorrow it's off to A.C. Moore to get more yarn, so I can start the Cabled Hobo Bag. I'm thinking a tanish/brownish color. My husband of course thinks I'm crazy and that I should finish my other projects first. He just doesn't understand.

Of course this weekend I should devote to doing homework for my classes, but I know I'll be spending the majority of my time knitting my new project and neglecting the homework and housework that needs to be done. But who would want to get all that stuff done when you can make a new bag instead!

First Cables

Who knew cables could be so much fun? My first thought when I saw someone cabling was, "There's a third needle? I just figured out how to use two!" But now that I've tried it I'm really enjoying it. I found this simple pattern on the Internet and decided this should be my first attempt at cables. Of course this project has put another project (a blanket) on hold for a little while. And that was after I put a poncho on hold. I love starting a project, but finishing it takes a while. My next question is how to make it so it could be a reversible scarf. As of now the one side has the cables and the other side is just the back. If anyone has suggestions I'm more than happy to listen.
