The Rain Made Me Do It!!!!!

NickyLeave a comment

I don’t know what it is, I’m thinking it’s the rain and cooler temps in my city, but whatever it is, I’m sticking to “the rain made me do it”.  😀 

Do what – might be a question.  The answer: knit more.  And because I’m knitting more and am more of a learner than a “completer” 😛 I’ve decided to ditch the Brisbane scarf that I’m making for my former supervisor, learn something new, do something new and tackle “the Hitchhiker”  shawlette instead.  I did the Brisbane pattern already and my fickle behind is not interested right now in a repeat.

So to the Brisbane scarf — “Whomp Whomp”  :P.  Blame it on the rain, cause the rain don’t mind, and the rain don’t care, and I gotta blame it on somefin.  😛 (goes to look for that Mili Vanili video to validate my shenanigans) 😀

I bought this pattern from Michelle and can’t wait to try it this weekend. 

I love the difference in the texture and the pattern is super simple.  That’s despite the fact I have to learn how to do a provisional cast-on and the kitchener stitch.

In addition to this, I’ve started the Brisbane scarf for my former supervisor.  Her birthday is next month and despite our track record, finishing that scarf for her is the least I could do.  The pattern can be found on LionBrand’s website.  Although I’m doing it in a lighter weight Knitpicks yarn, the beautiful texture is still evident.  Will post pics soon.
