I've been working and knitting.

I have been a busy little girl. This last week I finished a scarf on large needles to prove to my mom that I could do it in an evening. It only took me about 3 and a half hours. I used some lovely Patons yarn called Bohemian. I am thinking about using it for a pattern from Vogue Knittings' Winter issue. The yarn they use is Takhi's Ghost Print, which I love but the price is prohibitive.

I also cast on for my first sweater. I only had to swatch about a dozen times. I'm still off a little and I'm hoping it works out. I'm making the largest size using a Boucle yarn that Jo-Anns came out with recently. It will probably take me a year to make a sweater. That's why my eyes are already straying to other projects. Oh well, I will make a sweater this year. It's my goal.
