Sitting here trying to fight the urge to CO - cast-on a new project. Hmmm...maybe if I refresh my mind on what I have On-The-Needles - (otns) I can squish the urge of "new project"
Knitting bag: Let's see....a mobius shawlette in Mary Maxim Stepping Out Sock yarn. Dark rainbow self-striping yarn. A scarf in Red Heart Boutique Sashay in Jive (teal colorway). And newest addition, a test knit/Christmas present sweater for Nolan. The sweater is the must-git-'er-done project. Deadline September 20th as it is a pattern I get to test knit for the designer on www.ravelry.com.
Basket: (next to the couch) it's a small basket! Honest. Heather Hoodie vest for Courtney...that is another gotta get it done. What else do I have here? Another sweater for Nolan. A wrap/poncho type thingy...(not happy with this project - it's going to the frog pond..basket where I put those projects that are ripped out so I can reuse the yarn).
Tote: a few projects for the holidays...these can wait.
Well, that's that I guess. But the 3 new skeins of sock yarn...oops...5 new skeins of sock yarn are calling to me and wanting to be made into lacy type socks with yarn overs, knit two together etc.
Hmmm...it actually is helping! Quick write the date down..this is historical for me. Call the newspapers, the local news...this is epic!
On September 1, 2011 I, The Knitting Apprentice, Fought the urge to cast on a new project as I have at least 3 projects that must, I repeat must get done by Sept. 20th!
Wow...now where is that sweater for Nolan?

Testing Waterfall Lace Scarf
I am test knitting the Waterfall Lace Scarf for Zenmaria on ravelry.com.

I picked South West Trading Company Bamboo for this project. I tried 5 different times to see if I liked it...that's a big NO - in this color way. The lace effect got lost in the translation:
Back into the stash until I find a scarf pattern for you, bamboo.
Stash dived and came out with "Hempathy" in dark orange and I love it! The weight, the stitch definition, the ease of knitting. It turned out awesome! Here is the scarf blocked and drying.
It measures 5"wide by 55"long. I knit two skeins of "Hempathy" as that's all I had in the orange. It was the perfect amount. Only have a couple of yards left!
I love "openess" of this pattern! It was easy to memorize and I could just sit and knit.
Now to other projects.
