What I’ve been doing lately.

A knitting blog isn’t complete without update’s on the authors’ works in progress (WIP’s) or finished objects (FO’s). So here we go!
I went on a very long plane trip recently, and needed a project that was simple enough to fly without a pattern, but interesting enough to keep me, well, interested! Thankfully Ravelry came to a rescue, and after a forum post (Ravelry login required), I decided on the notorious Striped Noro Scarf, written up by BrooklynTweed himself.
Four skeins of Noro Kureyon (colors 226, 229, and 40) and many hours later, I was done and despite naysayers I proudly wear it in Hawai’i, where I live. Some photos (I apologize for the harshness of some of the stripes, I promise it’s not like that in real life)
This scarf worked up like a dream, and I had no problems taken my knitting on the plane, having done my best to comply with TSA regulations. I used size 8 bamboo circulars, and didn’t bring any scissors or other sharp implements. In fact the only grief I got were from fellow passengers, who tried to convince me that I wouldn’t need a wool scarf in Hawai’i (on a plane to the east coast).
