Keepin' on knitting

This past week I have really been able to get a handle on my knitting to-do list. I finished knitting and blocked Andrew's scarf which I think turned out so well. Previously the scarf curled like a mo-fo. I never blocked anything before but found a couple helpful tutorials and it turned out great!

My mom was also in the hospital this past week having her surgery...Nothing major, just removing a couple of her un-needed parts. :) I brought my knitting with me for the first time ever while waiting at the hospital and it wasn't as I bad as I had though!. I anticipated weird looks and gawks, but instead got a lot of compliments and questions. I would definitely bring my knitting with me again. I don't know what I was so afraid of! I got her ruffle scarf done which she loves and wears and she rests around the house.

Now, as my list goes down though, my sister requests a beret and fingerless gloves for spring. I think I have found the perfect patterns. I also am dying to knit myself the "just enough ruffles" scarf and still need to knit my swap partner her cowl! I love having all these projects to look forward to!
