Jack's Scarf

I had really just picked up on my knitting when Christmas rolled around. I was enjoying it, and wanted to 'share the joy' so I knit my 5 yr old son a scarf. He didn't think much of it until this year when he was at school.

I used the same kind of yarn for this as I did the toddler poncho. Lion Brand Homespun. Last year he really liked green too. This year yellow is the favored color.

I believe I cast on 10 stitches, and just knit to length. There is a dropped stitch, which has created a nice size hole in the hidden portion of the scarf. It's almost big enough to pull the other side through and keep it snug, but it's a bit too low for that.

Here is the toddler poncho I made for my daughter Kate. The pattern was in the knittinghelp.com forums. It's plain knit stitch, co 32 stitches, and knit until 18 inches.

Make two of these, then sew them together to form the poncho. It was very simple, and would have knit up very quickly, if I were a fast knitter.

It fits very well, and it's quite soft. She especially likes that she doesn't have to wait on me to take it off for her, she can just whip it over her head.

This is a test post from , a fancy photo sharing thing.

Ravelry

yay! I got my invite!! I'm so excited. Except, Flickr sucks. I hate flickr. I'm looking forward to other options for sharing my photos.

I taught myself how to crochet this weekend, so maybe I'll get somewhere with that, and I can let the knitting lay low for a while. Though, I did finally figure out the purl stitch. I just need to test it out w/ a different yarn.

I had some x-rays done this afternoon on my hands and knees. The knee pain has been on going since I was about 15, the hand pain is new. No telling what's going on. I'm not worried, but I want to make sure that I don't need to worry.

anyway, lunch is done, peace
