Mittens

This is my next knitting project. I got the pattern from Ravelry.com (Instant Mittens). I've never made grown up sized mittens before! I will be using the rest of the Lion Homespun so I have a matching scarf & mittens set.

Finished Fiesta scarf

Ok, finished the scarf today and I have 224 pages to go in Goblet of Fire which I intend to finish tonight.

The pattern for the scarf is:

Size 13 needles (size 10 is recommended by Lion Brand)
1 skein Lion Homespun

CO: 20 sts.
r1: k1, p1
r2: p1, k1
Repeat rows 1-2 until desired length, BO in pattern.

Couldn't be more simple than that! This pattern works for most yarn types.

Cowboy Spaghetti

Cowboy Spaghetti was pretty good. It tasted kind of like Chili Mac. Justin said he liked it too and cleaned his plate. I will save the recipe but am not sure how often I will make this. Its really good if you want pasta but don't feel like having regular old spaghetti. I used chardonnay instead of beer.

Fiesta

Here is 1/3 of the scarf that I'm knitting in a basic seed stitch pattern. Using Lion Homespun yarn in Fiesta. Its turning out to be pretty. I love the variegation.

Woven Cables

This will be my first knit item of twenty-ten. I think its pretty sweet. I will be using Lion Homespun in Fiesta (Christmas present from Bridget)I will definitely post a picture when I'm all done.

Woven Cables


Scratch that. I knit a few inches and you cant see the pattern. So I will be doing a seed stitch scarf with that yarn and will try to find a better yarn to knit with this pattern.

Cowboy Spaghetti

I'm going to make this recipe first. I will be omitting the beer though because, ew.

Cowboy Spaghetti

It sounds good though, right?

Goblet of Fire

So, I'm in the middle of Goblet of Fire... I'm trying to read through the HP series again quickly so that I can FINALLY read book 7 and watch Half Blood Prince! I forgot all the stuff going on with the ministry of magic and wanted to understand what the hell is going on in the final book.
