A Stitch in Time

A stitch in time may save nine, but I'd rather show off the things I've made or had made for me.

Minor progress

Despite being so tired from work that I didn't know if I was coming, going, or standing still, I did manage to make a little bit of progress on two of the three 'active' projects I've got going.

This is last week's progress on the butterfly fairy . . .

The only stitching I did on the fairy this week was on the moon between her wings. Even in the the bright fluorescent light of the company lunchroom, stitching almost white on mostly white is a pain and still my absolutely least favorite thing about this project.

I also managed to knit a few more rows on the Bird's Nest scarf. I like the width it is now, but I'm concerned I might not have enough yarn to make it long enough to drape adequately around the neck. After I get it done, I may wind up having to frog it again and starting over with it narrower to make it longer. Oh, well. I'll see what I see when I see it.

Very pretty scarf.
Do you have a digital kitchen scale? If so, you can weigh what you've knitted and weigh the yarn you still have and calculate whether you will reach the length you want to have.

I don't have a scale. I've never needed one since I'm not much of a cook. But I'm not worried about how much yarn I have or whether I can make a scarf. I will keep knitting till I run out just to see how much I can get out of 880 yards knit on size 6US needles. Regardless how big the project turns out, I can either turn it into something else if it isn't long enough for a scarf, or I can take it apart and start over or make something else entirely. This is my equivalent of living dangerously.

If it doesn't work out to be a scarf, I'm thinking a pillow cover might work. I kind of like the way it goes with my coverlet on my bed.
