My current project is a beautiful, yet simple,
Irish Hiking Scarf for my friend's mother. It's a really sweet pattern in a sweet baby blue acrylic yarn that I hope she'll like. I know I've always said I'm a yarn-snob who will only work with natural fibers, but I'll now admit that acrylic has it's place, and my wallet prefers it's price. Anyway, I'm knitting this scarf at an alarming pace. The stitched are flying off my needles and the few mistakes I've made were either easily fixed or not noticeable enough for me to care. So why should anyone else, right? I'm at the third cable and I reach for my cable needle... I reach for my cable needle... I REACH FOR MY CABLE NEEDLE... I reach for my... cable... needle? Where is my cable needle? I just used it for the first two cables. In my yarn? No. On the table? No. Under the bed? No. In the sheets? Under my pillow? Under the dog? In my cup? On the bookcase? In the kitchen? On the MOON!?!?!? No. Thankfully a Nintendo DS stylus is the same gauge as a US size 8 needle...
BTW, I had stuck the cable needle into the hair-tie holding back my bangs... yeah...
