Frustration....

Last night I began (I know this is way behind but...) the Harry Potter scarf for my father's Christmas present. I cast on and, since it is an easy and straight forward pattern, began knitting along while watching TV. I got about 3 inches done last night before I really took a look at it and it is WAY too wide. I am very perturbed! Here I was thinking I was being a good doobie and flying along on my project when I didn't take the time to make sure I was happy with the product.

Moral of the story, slow down a bit here girlie!

Until Next Time,

How Did This Happen?

I know I say it every year, but HOW did Christmas spring upon us this quickly?! I am now in a rush to finish my hand made Christmas gifts. I, of course, haven't even cast on for the scarf I am making for my father. But somehow, I have have the confidence that everything will be finished in time.

I think that the reason for my extreme confidence and happiness is that Randy and I just signed a lease to move to Manhattan's Upper East Side! With shorter commutes in sight I am the happiest person in the Big Apple. Who wants to help Broke Knitter move?

Well, I am off to finish up these holiday gifts. Who else is scrambling? I will post pictures of my progress the next two weeks. Please feel free to share!!

Until Next Time,
