Debi writes: “I’m always knitting socks for Dad but haven’t knit him a sweater in about 25 years and I thought it was about time to revisit that even tho we don’t need warm woolies very often ’round these semi-tropical Florida parts. We *do* have seasons and it’s all relative as we Floridians are acclimated to HOT so when the thermometer hits um, 60, we’re all freezing!! :)

I wanted a nice, warm comfy sweater for the ‘rents and Ribby fit the bill!

I knit the Mom Ribby a few months ago and finished up the Dad counterpart during my powerless Wilma days!”

gimmee a WOO gimmee a HOO

WooHoo! An FO! A weekend FO! This little scarf has been in the making since last year –

It seems like every once in awhile, on a weekend, I get a bug. The Startitis Bug. The Bug that will not let you go until you get something on the needles – something that probably will not ever get off the needles unless you catch the Other Bug.

The Finishing Bug.

I admit it. I’m a Clothes Whore. I LOVE NEW CLOTHES! So when I gleaned the Work Basket (ahem, my whole House) and found this half-finished scarf a few days ago, I just couldn’t resist. Problem was, the original was not knit right – so it was frogged, started as a Grinda Scarf, frogged again (!) and NOW has attained its rightful place – Around My Neck…

I love new clothes…

28 stitch MultiDirectional Scarf
Designer: Karen Baumer
Yarn: Noro *Kureyon* – 2 balls
Color: ??? – this is what happens when you have Startitis
Needles: #10

After…

Even though everyday I go about my merry spaced-out way (too much to DO! The Holidaze!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. OMG, next week is Thanksgiving. Where the H are my car keys), My Mind has a mind of its own and just keeps connecting all the dots, in spite of my chaotic path.

Above you see my new Pin Cushion from the indomitable Felt Inspired that I could not resist this weekend at the FAOF.

Coincidence or just a Cosmic Glitch!?
