In case you were curious (or not) and haven't happened to see me at any of the Fiber Festivals we've been to this year, I am still a knitter. Although an awful lot of my knitting time has been spent making samples for the Ball and Skein booth, I have managed a couple things for myself. This little scarf, Miss Winkle, caught my eye when Matina Behm offered it on Ravelry late in the summer. I was looking for a quick, easily memorized project to knit while visiting with family and friends in the evenings. After about the third little loop, I was smitten.
Blocking her was fun! Really. I poked around in the barn until I came up with a four foot lenghth of 1" pvc plumbing pipe. All the little loops were then threaded onto it while wet. The whole scarf was hung by it on a gentle angle to dry. Easy. Easy! I can see another one or two of these in my future.
Back to back shows have me tired out and looking for another simple project. Any ideas?
There's another little someone in my life these days that has me smitten…

Yay, he’s back!! He’s so pretty. π (does he chew the edge of the box??) The scarf is really cute. Simple yet such a special detail. Nice!!
What a handsome cat! Do introduce us properly.
I love your Miss Winkle and brilliant idea with the PVC pipe to block all of those rings. Your cat is adorable! He must have been a dog in his past life by the chewing there.
That is a very cool scarf! Simple project, hmmm? What about the leftie scarf? Or a baktus with handspun?
