Still here :)

Well, it's been a little busy lately. Last month DH and I went to China for 2 1/2 weeks. It was a great trip! I did see yarn in Tibet but did not purchase. The yak yarn was VERY coarse and I couldn't tell what gauge the wool was.

Before the trip I assessed my WIP pile to figure out what I was going to finish up on the plane. As you might have guessed not ONE of my projects (present or future) was appropriate for plane rides. DH's scarf? It requires a very LONG circ - no good for a plane ride, right? The multi-directional scarf? Well, there wasn't much to finish on that so it would be pointless to bring. (and no, it's STILL not finished!). So I immediately headed to the LYS where I purchased yarn for the Pirate Sweater from Adorable Knits for Tots. And I have gotten quite a bit done thus far.

Here's the back:



And here's the front...



You can see the beginnings of the Jolly Roger motif on the front.

Oh! I finished my 1st crochet project but I forgot to take a picture of it before I gave it to a friend for her birthday. My LYS had a Learn to Crochet night and we made the One Skein Scarf from SnBHH. I really enjoyed the project especially the near-instant gratification of it! In a few hours I had a scarf :)
