Yep. I bought more yarn. The Knitting Garden is having their moving sale, so I had to make a purchase. I bought the last of Jo Sharp Silkroad Aran Tweed in wintergrass. I think it will be just right for the Dolman Updated sweater in the Winter 2003 edition of Interweave Knits. I fell in love with this sweater and have been wanting to make it. It looks so deliciously comfortable. Now I will have the yarn for it.

I also started a scarf for my sister. She loves scarves and hats and even though she lives in east Texas and will be moving to Florida in January, she is always cold. So I think she’ll wear the scarf even in the south. It will be a simple garter stitch scarf using Lion Brand Homespun. The color, Shaker, is a mix of greys and browns. Some of you may recall my previous attempt at a scarf in Homespun. Browse the archives of January and you’ll see the photo. Yes, this is the same scarf, but this time around, I’m much more familiar with the yarn and I feel much more comfortable with knitting in general so I think it will be a nice, warm scarf when I finish. Oh yes. I also broke down and purchased the pattern for the Bottoms Up Bucket. I have yarn in my stash that will work just fine. Maybe I’ll get one in before summer is over. LOL!
