Finally, Tigerfest scarf is an FO!

Okay, so it's not the greatest photo, but we shot it during commercial break of "Private Practice" so it is what it is.

The Tigerfest auction scarf is finally complete. It's a Lion Brand Reversible Cable Knit Pattern, knit with Paton's Soy With Stripes yarn, in color 70310. It's self-striping wool with a little soy mixed in. It looks deceptively short in the photo, but there's a lot of it hanging to the back. I wanted you to be able to see the end.

I think someday I might try to knit and felt a bag using this yarn. Since the rows would be longer, the stripes would be a lot thinner. Judging from the felted swatches I've seen at Michael's though, it'd probably have to be double-stranded to be thick enough to be a purse.

In other news, since gas is now officially at a bazillion dollars a gallon, Adam is going to be riding his bike to work. We only live about 2.5 miles from his school, so it should be fairly easy to do. Tonight, he installed a headlamp, and back light on it since he'll be riding in traffic. Usually we just ride on the trails around here.


I'd like to say that the whole reason he's doing it is to "go green" which is a fringe benefit, definitely, but honestly, we're just hoping to save a little dough.
