ohmygosh it's March

Well, it just so happens that I started school shortly after the last posting...when that happened, my crafting time became pretty much non-existent. Wah-wah. It's okay, though, because I'm getting smarter and stuff.

I have been steadily working on one project, though, which is another scarf for a friend. It's knit, and it uses a really different kind of pattern, which I love. It's super easy too; it took me a minute to figure out the whole "slip stitches with yarn in front" thing, but once you start doing it, it makes sense.

Anyway, here it is:

I also made myself a little cheat sheet for the first few stitches of each row:

So, for example, row 8 says "k5, p3" so I start knitting the row with that and then just do k3, p3 until you get to the last three stitches of the row, which are always sl 3. It's a lot easier than either following along with the full pattern (once you get the hang of the pattern, you don't really need all of that info), or trying to count it out every time I start a new row. After I finished that row, I'd put a dot in the right column and keep going!

It's not done yet, but I think I'll have it done just in time for Summer. :)
