I was able to get a lot of my neckwarmer done. When I started it over I realized two things I was doing wrong, the first reason, I was doing garter instead of reverse stockinette and the second, the needle size. I was using a size 9(US) and the pattern called for a size 6(US). I was wondering why mine looked nothing like the picture and I'm using the same yarn. I'm more than half way done with it today.



Looks like my days of knitting while at work is numbered. I'm in the process of looking for a new job. I basically don't do anything at work. I'm suppose to be the group administrative assistant but, the group is self-sufficent. I work on projects that last about 1-2 hours a day. I'm bored and the position doesn't pay enough so it's time for me to go.

First, I finished my Jaywalker socks before the end of Socktoberfest. I'm happy about that.

I also came very close to finishing this neckwarmer.



I got all the way to the ruffles and realized I was suppose to do the edges in reverse stockinette and I was doing garter. The perfectionist in my made me rip it back and start all over. That's what i'll be knitting at work this week. Hopefully I don't have any projects to work on.

Recently I have found myself reading lots of blogs about knitting and it's inspired me to go back to my own blog. I don't only knit, I also crochet, quilt (beginner) and sew. I wish I had named my Blog something else like "She Who Crafts". I think I'm going to check if that name is taken.

I want to discuss my quilt I'm working on. I was reading the Purlsoho forum and came across a quilt someone who works at the store was making. It was beautiful, the colors and the design. So I decided to make one for myself. I started about a month ago and today I finally got around to appliquing the center on some of the pinwheels. I will take pictures tomorrow, because when I remembered to take pictures it was already dark out.

I'm also working on my first pair of Jaywalkers. I'm doing them on circulars. Next I plan on learning how to knit toe-up and short row heels. Wish me luck!
