Stuff
Counting down until our trip to Florida this weekend to visit roller_boy. I'm getting the car ready today and getting my stuff packed.
I've also started a new knitting project. Another scarf, this time based on Mark's scarf in RENT. It's going to be double knit in worsted weight yarn, and I might try it in lighter weight yarn if it feels too heavy. But I have found that knitting a six foot long scarf is going to take quite a while if knitting it with size 3 needles (3.25mm for my amigos who don't use US sizes). I'll post more on that as it gets worked on, but right now I'm going with 42 stitches cast on, which will come down to about six inches across with the double knit taken into account. Then it's K1, slip 1 purl-wise for 40 rows, switch colors and continue until you have nine navy blue and eight white stripes (light grey if you want to go with movie version, I think). Then add fringe.
