I love bright colors so it sounds wonderful to me.<BR/><BR/>I liked your comment about the scarf you are making and what it wants to be. When I was making a quilt for a friend of mine, I wanted to make her a lap quilt. I started cutting fabric and making up blocks. I didn't have quite enough blocks to make a lap quilt and nothing (and I mean nothing) I had in my stash was going to work as wide sashing or borders. The quilt insisted (and I literally mean insisted) that it be a wall hanging. And really, who was I to argue with what it wanted to be?<BR/><BR/>All that being said, it will be interesting to see what your scarf will become; remember, the scarf is in charge.

And glad at le...I hope you're feeling much better! And glad at least that being sick encouraged knitting time. I'm very curious to see the Dora blanket, and how the colors interplay.<BR/><BR/>Re: socks; did you change the number of stitches for your smaller needles, or just take the whole pattern down a needle size to make them smaller? If you adjusted gauge and are using more stitches, then there's more knitting to be done and it will take longer (of course). All of my socks have been on size 0 or 1 (mostly 0) so I don't have much perspective on the difference between 1 and 2. My current sock is 66 stitches around the leg in 2x1 ribbing; how does that compare to your stitch count?<BR/><BR/>Good luck with the rest of the holiday knitting!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
