Some people are much worse than me, in terms of having a lot of works in progress.  I hear campfire tales about lone knitters who work on one thing at a time….urban myths? I don’t know. I don’t personally know anyone like that. It’s been such a long time since I had a finished object to post, because (a) I don’t get much time to knit, (b) the projects I’m working on are either large or cobweb lace, and (c) my subway knitting project was not as quick as a pair of socks, but was……..

announcing…….

my Baktus scarf!

It was a lot of fun to knit, even though Noro Silk Garden Sock isn’t at all nice to work with. When I’m knitting in the subway, I have my briefcase bag slung over one shoulder, and a large bag hung on my other shoulder holding my laptop, odds and ends, and my knitting. This was unwieldy, since I had a cake of Noro and a skein of KnitPicks Essentials just tossed in the bag. As I went back and forth, switching colors, they’d get all wound around each other, and the other junk in the bag, and it was a hot mess.

So it certainly took me long enough, but at last I have some knitting to post on this “knitting blog.” Baktus is very warm and cozy, and I know I’ll enjoy wearing it when winter comes around again.
