Miss Sporadic

Hello, sorry for the long silent blog. I have not got much knitting or blogging mojo going on this semester so things will most likely be slow around here but check in every once in a while - you never know! I have another site for home renovations that will be updated pretty regularly and if you are interested, leave a comment and I'll send you the info. Speaking of redecorating, I am posting from my blue office (I really love it) with my newly finished scarf. Its pretty short, but I love the reversible cables I ended up working in - easy and hides mistakes really well!!


School is chaotic but its moving along. We have 2 weeks of fieldwork coming up and I am working at a hospital. From what I've heard, it should be pretty intense so I'm sure I'll have some crazy memories after that experience.

I gave my friend (who's due really really soon!) her baby blanket & it was a success. I goofed and did not take any final pictures of the project, but I assure you it turned out cute.
I am craving some new big projects, but I think my next will be from the stash - most likely a hat for this cold weather we've been having lately.
In the end, I promise to post any projects, but I can't promise I'll have any to write about! Hope you all are enjoying this year flying by & had a lovely Valentine's Day!

Thanks, Abbey

Our fiesty little dachshund, Abbey, is modeling a scarf-in-progress today my first reverse cable.


She's just longing to get outside right now!!
I finally settled on this pattern after knitting and frogging entrelec twice, it just didn't work with this scarf - was not feeling it. So here we are - I'm actually on the 3rd skein of 4, so this will be a short scarf even after I block the stuffing out of it.

This week I'm trying to distract myself from the constant noise of the roofers above and this little cold that's got me laying low. School starts again next week, so I think getting back in a routine will do me lots of good. Its crazy how many expectations/plans I had for the past four weeks of vacation and how many of them stayed unchecked on the to do list...now, I'll just have to squeeze in projects between classes and home renovation!!
