Well so far SP7 is going well....yeah I know, it's only being going for like 3 minutes so far, seeing that we only received our names yesterday....but I got a really cool spoilee this time around and I'm excited to get started....

In other news...I finished my aunt-lina-birthday scarf, "branching out" from knitty. it came out pretty cool....the weirdest coink-a-dink was that knitknitknitknit brought up the pattern the other night when we were hanging out NOT knowing that I was in the process of knitting it...oooooaaahhhh weird!

Anyway...it came out really nice, and I know my aunt is going to love it....and I love it because:
1. I conqured my fear of laces
2. it served as a stash-busting session, since I didn't buy new yarn for the project.
3. the yarn was a gift from sp6, Susan.
4. I had enough yarn to make a little scarf for my SP6 bear (which was a Christmas bear, but I couldn't bring myself to putting her away until next Christmas, so I converted her to a scarfy-year-around bear).

One annoying thing that I've run into for the second time, although, much worse this time....is the wavy cast-on....but strait cast-off....grrr....how do I fix this???

thank you so much for your comment and kind offer! i will have to think about that for sure!
:)
there are so many good ones i cant even imagine where to begin.
i may order the kitchen one on japan amazon.
have a great day!

Cristina, a friend of mine gave me a Chococat for Christmas. She came with a matching orange hat and scarf set. I was planning on doing the same thing as you did for Bear-Girl (oops or is it a guy?) so I was pleased to see that great minds create alike!

Hey, let's go buy our yarn for the olympics together...maybe before or after our craft time?

yes, lets go yarn shopping...i was going to do a yarn diet for the next quarter...but screw that! lets go shopping!

Oh your branching out scarf is just LOVELY!!! and your magnet - wow - your secret pal is a lucky girl!!!
