I Did It!

What IS that first thing?  Is it a spider tangled up in some Pound of Love yarn?  NO!  It’s proof positive that I finally took the time to sit down with a book (Knitting for Dummies — thank you, Hobbes!) and figure out how to use double-pointed needles (dpn’s).  Getting going is the hardest part and REALLY frustrating, but once you’re going it’s easy.  Gee, how I wish I’d figured this out about 60 baby hats ago!  It will be great to make my hats for the UCSF ICN w/o seams.  If I ever finish this huge ball of pink Pound of Love, I’ll deliver the hats.

The second picture is the detail of the fuzzy blue lace scarf, finished yesterday. Whooppee!  Now, should I make the Boobie Scarf or the Heart scarf next?  Probably the Heart one.  I have some fuschia Wool Ease (yes, I know, I’m cheap) that would look nice in hearts.
