I'm making some progress on my never ending scarf, Basalt. It is a super easy knit, which is what I need right now. Everyone is taking time off at work, so my little two day a week job is right now a 4 or 5 day a week job. Yes, I love working there but I really wasn't planning on working that much. I feel like a gerbil on a wheel, running but never going anywhere! haha
Basalt has an I-cord edging that goes on the long edge. Since I hadn't planned on making this pattern, I didn't order a color for the edge. Of course, when I started looking I just couldn't decide.
I'm partial to the pink (surprised??) and hubby likes the orange/red. Which is your favorite?
In this picture you can see how the colors blend. I was so excited that they actually went together like I was hoping they would. It is hard to choose colors like that on a monitor.
I hear that the I-cord edging takes a long time so I had better get in gear and get the main part done!!
Happy Crafting!!!

Camp Loopy 2
Well, posting from my phone just didn't work. I downloaded a few more apps and they SAID that they had posted but I sure don't see them! So, they must be out in cyberspace somewhere. Freaky!!
I've been trying to get a few rows done each day on my project for Camp Loopy.
I had planned on making Caprio with this pretty yarn,
but.... I got almost through a pattern repeat and made a mistake that I couldn't fix. And of course, I hadn't restrung my lifeline since the beginning of the repeat. Rippppp! I was worried about trying that pattern in such a limited time anyways. I am not a good lace knitter.
I changed patterns and now I am doing a ton of garter stitch. I had to use the same yarn so I chose Basalt. I think it might even be a better pattern for what I am trying to do. I wanted to do an ombre' look from the darkest blue to the gray. I just finished the gray and am working on the lightest blue again. This is going to be a Big scarf. My oldest daughter keeps eyeing it and says how much she thinks she will wear it this winter. I will share, I suppose. :)
Then it gets an i-cord edging. I have two colors to chose from, a neon pink and a tomato red. I just can't decide!!!
We have been having the most miserable weather lately. I tried to get a picture of the scarf in progress but it is just too nasty out. I will try again!!!!
