Temperature Scarf

And hat. Knitted brim, crocheted body.
It ended being an infinity scarf. But I actually love all these colors. And the hat, while loose and roomy, is a pretty good shaped beret.

Overwhelmed

Well I have gone overboard. Two entrelac projects (Samantha Scarf and Kelli hat) as well as the throw for Cindy I have never finished. Two cable and bobble scarves..and this from someone who hates scarves.
So all of them are intermediate level projects. I haven't got any crochet projects going so there's something I guess.
Personal note, rain, tornados and storms all around.
And me in a pile of yarn.

How To


Today my girls have their dance recital.
The above picture is how I have to set everything up to read a pattern...and still there are torrents of troubles. I have been working more on the smaller needles but... crapshoot. Anything can go wrong.
On a personal note I have 7 working days until I transfer out of my current department.
So the current department is going  to try and kill me before I go

Entrelac Hat

Yeah there has to be an easier way but...
I started in the round and made a hopeless mess. Then just began a normal entrelac start. Joined them and added a 2x2 knit purl rib stitch and in growing try to join the seam. Just hobbling along.
There have been storms I love to knit and nap during.

Scarves


I started
The oatmeal color on bigger needles to learn the stitch pattern then started another one on smaller needles and the slow variegated thin yarn and likened it to knotting socks. 
Hard to learn something but it is a challenge I enjoy.
