As soon as I started blogging about knitting, I’m back to knitting that I can’t talk about.  I’m knitting another sample for KnitPicks, this will probably be in the Spring or Summer 2009 catalog and I think it will knit up pretty fast.

I do have knitting in either the wip or planning stages, though.  There’s the poor handspun yoke sweater that I can knit and knit on and it never grows though the yarn is running thin.  Luckily I’m using Paton’s Classic Wool and I can easily run to Joann’s and pick up some more if I need it.  I’m in a scarf mood, for some reason.  I think after the never ending work project I’m just wanting some instant gratification and, well, people need scarves, like my mom.  She needs a big warm cozy winter scarf and I’m thinking that Forbe’s Forest out of some KnitPicks Merino Style in Moss (leftover from my Tangled Yoke Cardigan) will fit the bill.

I picked up a copy of Victorian Lace Today (Ravelry) over the weekend and now my lace bug is back.  My grandma’s birthday is next month and I found out she lost her Trellis Scarf that I gave her, so I’m thinking that it’s time for a new lacy scarf.  I have some Lorna’s Laces Helen’s Lace in shades of purple that I think would make a beautiful scarf in just about any of the patterns from the book, I can’t pick one.  I’m leaning toward either (sorry for the Ravelry links, I’d scan in pictures from the book but my scanner isn’t working) the Double Bordered Scarf, Scarf with Edging 21 & Insertion 25, Scarf with Open and Solid Diamond Lace, or Scarf with the No. 20 Edging.  Gotta love those names.  What do you think?  I’ll post a poll below (you’ll probably have to come look at the post on my webpage to see it).  I’ll leave it open until Jan. 1.
