One Project Completed, Another One Started

Miss Ruffles is complete! I tried to finish it last night, and almost did, but around 10:30pm my eyes were telling me it was time for bed. So after I did my Saturday morning chores I was able to sit down and complete the last few rows of yarn that I had left to knit. I even didn't procrastinate about weaving in the ends!

I absolutley love this scarf! The colors are some of my favorites. When I try on the scarf it is definitely long enough to wrap around my neck a couple of times. I wasn't sure if I would be able to because I didn't use the total yardage of yarn required to complete. The pattern called for a total of 432 yards. I only had two skeins of the Moda Dea which totaled 328 yards.

While I enjoy the warm summer weather, I look forward to the fall when I can sport my new scarf. I am very excited to have one completed knitting project under my blog!

So what is next? Well I couldn't wait to start another project. While I was doing the dreaded task of laundry this morning, I started The Sheep Tote (minus the sheep). Once again I shopped in my stash store to see what yarn I could use for this project. I am using one of my favorite felting yarns - Lamb's Pride Worsted; Color M-65 Sapphire. I had exactly two skeins leftover from another tote project to knit up the small version of this tote.

My utimate goal is to finish this tote within the next two weeks. I want to take it home with me so I can felt it along with my other tote in my sis's washing machine. After only working on it for a few hours today, I have made some considerable progress. I am on round 30 of 48 then, I start the top edge of the tote. After that, I will only have the pockets and strap left to do. Hmmmm maybe I could have it done by next weekend???? We'll see. I'm off to knit knit knit.
