Scarf Review

***If you haven't entered my Blogiversary contest (see previous post), please be sure to do so. The prize is a gift certificate to The Loopy Ewe!***

I joined the International Scarf Exchange, and started my scarf last night.

I looked at lots of different patterns, but I just couldn't get past the Chevron Scarf from Last Minute Knitted Gifts. And since I was too anxious to start to wait for Blue Moon to restock the mediumweight STR or for my LYS to reopen so they could sell me some Koigu, I started with the lightweight STR I had on hand--Lemongrass and Farmhouse.

So, tell me. How's it looking?

Also--FO Alert! I finished this pair of baby cable ribbed socks for my sister-in-law Cheryl. Just for no reason. Well, that's not true. She was COMPLAINING that I hadn't made her a pair yet...

The yarn is STR in Marbles.

Blogiversary Trivia Contest

It looks like my blogiversary is coming up, so in the grand tradition of giving away stuff to celebrate, I am announcing a contest.

All you have to do is answer the following 5 questions about me and my projects. All the answers will easily be found somewhere in my posts.

The winner will be chosen at random from all entrants. You have until Friday, April 6th to enter, and then I will announce the winner on April 10, which is my actual blogiversary!

To enter, send me an email with your answers. I guess it doesn't matter if you post your answers in the comments because everyone who sends me 5 answers gets entered to win, whether the answers are right or not, but still, it might be fun for people to do a little scavenger hunt. So email them to me at yarnpal at cox dot net (Replace "at" and "dot" with the appropriate symbols and remove the spaces).

Let's seem what else.....AH! You want to know about the prize! It's a good one....

A $25.00 gift certificate to The Loopy Ewe!

Is that worth playing for?

And now, here are the questions:

1. What is my miniature schnauzer's name?

2. What yarn did I use to knit my first ever pair of socks?

3. Where was I born?

4. What sock-in-progress did I have the deckhand pose with?

5. What sweater am I knitting for my husband?

BONUS: Which of my projects finished in the last year is your favorite?

Thanks for playing along!
