FO! The scarf is done.

Ok, I took a goof-off morning today. Slept 'til 9 (yay!), had some breakfast and then read newsgroups and blogs whilst knitting away on my striped scarf. And even though there's still about half a ball of cream and 3/4 of a ball of navy left, I'm calling this puppy done. It's 4 1/2' long, plenty for a wrap-around and tuck-in. Yarn is Mission Falls Superwash Wool, knit in 2x2 rib 40 stitches wide on a 5 mm bamboo circular needle. Each stripe is 2". You may recall the hat I made , which then inspired the scarf. Note to self: 2" stripes mean a lot of ends to weave in. Love the look of this, don't think I'd do it again in a hurry though!

Yes, I've taken the picture on my unmade bed. I was going to make the bed this morning, but a certain Squeeky cat is having her extended morning nap and I hate to disturb her:

Cute kitty, non? And now, sadly, I have to stop goofing off and get some things done. Stew to get started in the crockpot, laundry to put away, dishes to unload and load, and then - finally! - my baking/grocery list to compile. By which time it'll be time to shower and go to work, I think. Although I think Squeeky's got the right idea - I could half-do with another nap, myself!

Great scarf!!! And yes, very cute kitty - pretty much the only circumstances under which I'd take (and have taken) a photo of an unmade bed as well *g*.
