2008 first knitting/ Stinky's present/ Harmony snapped

Now my knitting...

Irish Hiking Scarf



Here is what I am working on :http://www.helloyarn.com/irishhikingcarf.htm. My son asked me to make him a black scarf with cables out of something soft like alpaca. This pattern is free found on Ravelry.What a great resource for patterns and info..! I had noticed it before but did not know how easy cables were then. Not sure how the cables will show up with baby alpaca and it has to be masculine looking .


My other project started is the Buttons Cardigan #606 . I bought this pattern at Stitches from Cabin Fever.


Baby Buttons Cardigan # 606
It is a top down baby sweater and pretty easy.I keep making some mistakes and have to go back but it is not the pattern's fault as the directions are so very clear. This is a perfect pattern for beginners. I am an advanced beginner. The portion in the picture is the collar of the baby sweater.


I was using my new Harmony Options needles with this sweater and the needle just snapped off. I have not heard back from KnitPicks . Their ad said they are in the middle of a big move so maybe I will hear soon. With my hearing loss I avoid the phone as much as possible but will use my Cap Tel Phone if needed.
