Casting on for Dewey

January 31st, 2009 by monnibo | Alongs, Challenge, Knitting, WIP

deweyskallg1 I am joining Dewey’s Knit-Along (in memory of Dewey) and hosted by Robin. It’s one of the mini-challenges that Robin concocted for Dewey’s Book Challenge, but you can join in the knit-along without doing the reading challenge. I’m terrible with reading challenges, but I thought I would tag my next Knitting Project as my Dewey Knit-Along item.

So, with the same yarn I used for my mom’s hat, I am knitting her a scarflette. More specifically, the Ribbed Mini-Scarf [ravlink] by Celeste Glassel. I figure that my mom already has some really fancy, pretty silk scarf/pashmina things for work, but she needs a more practical scarf to wear with her hat. Also, it’s not as big/long/time-consuming as a regular sized scarf.

P.S. I’m being booted out* of the house for Superbowl tomorrow so I hope to find a coffeeshop to sit, knit, and surf the net. * Note: but who really wants to be in a house with grown men yelling and belching and farting and smoking?

    Ha that’s what the men do around here too. I am not going to be around with them either.

    Hmm…Perhaps you should call ahead before ever visiting my home. With the exception of me, it’s always males (usually lots of them) doing all the usual male things!

    Hope you find a nice quiet coffee house to retreat to! :-) My hubby doesn’t even have to watch a football game to do most of that…well, at least he doesn’t smoke. lol

    One of the joys of having your own apartment is that no one can kick you out! … just saying… :)
