Scarves and more scarves again...

In my new resolve to finish the existing WIPs before starting anything new, I finished off a Fun Fur scarf that had been sitting awhile. It's the "rainbow" print, three balls x 20 stitches on 6.5mm needles. You don't need a picture, trust me. :) Anyway, i was knitting this at our friends' place (hockey/birthday party) last night and it was decided that the recipient would be our other friend Jiff. To understand Jiff, and why a 20(30?)something 6footsomething very male, male would want a rainbow fun fur scarf - well, you can't understand it. It's just Jiff. It will suit him perfectly.

But for a slight insight, here was his Halloween costume this year:
It's just Jiff.


(Note: I donated some of the brown yarn to make Sweetums' head. Only for a dear friend would I part with yarn and allow it to be CUT UP and no longer knittable.) 2nd Note: Photo stolen from YumiKid's Flicker page. Girlfriend takes the coolest photos!

Now I'm back on my navy/cream striped scarf, which is coming along nicely. I took some time today to weave in the ends so far and it's much less daunting and more finish-able, if you know what I mean. Still a full ball of each colour to go - oddly, the cream doesn't seem to have the same yardage as the navy (this is Mission Falls superwash). I think they go by weight, not yardage, and the cream is "poofier" so there may be less in a ball. Or maybe I'm just knitting it slightly different gauge. Hard to tell, but I've a feeling I will have navy left over. No, I will not be making fringe! Fringe is evil.

And now, sadly, to bed. Tomorrow, despite the fact of being officially on vacation, I have to go to the office in the morning. Argh. But my afternoon should be reasonably free - no, wait, moving stuff. Argh again. Ok, tomorrow NIGHT I'm knittin'. That's it!
