I made through my pattern problems and finally finished the Tiger Eye Lace Scarf. It's in Malabrigo sock with size 5 needles. It went amazingly fast but blocked a lot longer then it was supposed to.

Just wanted to share some pictures of the creature I just finished this Thanksgiving evening.

I am so happy that I wanted to share with you ...

Since having begun knitting and crocheting this summer, I have found that it is a wonderful way to pass the time on my hour-long subway commute.

Finished up a new cardigan this weekend. I only ever made Fair Isle Vests as drop shoulder sweaters are very unflattering on me.

For my friend Tia for her birthday. Modeled beautifully as a shawl by Nicci of Close Knit Yarn Store on Alberta in Portland, OR.

It makes a fabulous "aroma filter" when the homeless guy decides to sit at the table next to mine at the wi-fi cafe. I probably look like I'm trying to avoid swine flu.

I don't want to reinvent the wheel... I just want a basic wonderful above the calf kilt hose pattern.
