Making Do
While waiting for the yarn to arrive for Aine's stocking this week, I cast-on a few other projects. The main one was a scarf from some stash yarn. After making a couple pairs of baby socks a couple years ago, I still had approximately 350 yards of yarn. It made a nice sized shawl, which is going to be a gift this holiday season. The knitting went really quickly due to my current obsession. I haven't been reading much this week. I have been watching streaming television. I have been watching Friday Night Lights. Although I don't watch television, I have spent my evenings watching the old seasons on my laptop and knitting. I am seriously hooked. It is embarrassing. Hopefully next week, I will be back to the books and have a stocking to show everyone who visits for Ginny's Yarn Along.

Well I think the scarf is lovely :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful scarf! That's the 3rd or 4th hearty recommendation I have heard for Friday Night Lights. I will have to put that on the queue.
ReplyDeleteHappy Yarn Along!
Love the colors.
ReplyDeleteI happened to me, someone just mention Gilmore Girls the other day, like a month ago and I have been watching them on my computer, since I don't have a TV, like crazy, I think it's starting to pass, or I hope so, because, there are 7 seasons, you know.
i am struggling thru my shawl, it is sooo boring. i think i might start over with something a bit more challenging. lol

ReplyDeleteBeautiful scarf, love the colours in it :) I spend much of my time knitting and watching TV, it definitely gets in the way of reading progress sometimes!
ReplyDeletegorgeous scarf - the colours look fabulous too.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the stocking - sounds like fun.
That is one beautiful stash yarn shawl!
ReplyDeleteI am not a television watcher either, but my secret watching is Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Those women live such a different lifestyle than me, it's like watching a train wreck!
