44 Days
There are only 44 days until my wedding. So. Close. There are so many little things left to do...
I'm not going to stress.
Instead, I'm going to show you a lovely, relaxing picture of my latest finished project: my Chevron Scarf!
Yay new scarf!
It's perfect scarf weather - ya know, 90 degrees and up - har har har. I actually have worn this already -- it was cold in my class last week, and put my not-quite-finished scarf around my neck (I kinda hid the part that was still on the needles under the desk I was sitting in.) Then, the professor left the room for a minute and I took the opportunity to knit a few rows...and a student across the room said, "Are you KNITTING the muffler that you're wearing?" Hee. I was trying to be discreet. Oops. I also loved that she called it a muffler.
Look how long it is!
I really was going to knit this until I ran out of yarn, but one of my skeins kept tangling, and I'm actually glad I stopped - it's uber long! I can't wait for colder weather.
Last pic, I promise.
Can you tell I love this scarf?
I used two skeins of Socks That Rock (both gifties, one lovely skein from Jodi and another lovely skein from Ashley) and this pattern that I found on domesticrafts (she basically used a chevron stitch - so smart.)
Since I didn't get to finish the skeins, I used some of my leftover to whip up a quickie iPod cover for my video Ipod. I carry it in my purse all the time, and I wanted something to cover the screen just so it doesn't get scratched with bobby pins and ink pens and Pepto Bismol bottles, etc. (My purse is a pit of despair.)
Yay for Photo Booth.
I'm being lazy - it was easier than getting out the camera.
I have a Mac now - oh, how I love it.
It actually feels great to finish that project, because now I feel free to work on some other stuff. I'm getting very close to finishing my cami from Knitting Lingerie Style - pictures soon. And, I just bought this adorable Zephyr Style pattern last night after reading this post over at Elizabeth's ...how cute is that damn sweater? I'm so casting on for it this weekend.
Speaking of this weekend, me and the Pants are going away to the mountains for a mini vacation. We're going to relax and not stress about wedding details - I'm specifically forbidden to do any planning. I think it's going to be a nice break!
Y'all have a good weekend!

A lot of specialists state that mortgage loans help people to live the way they want, because they are able to feel free to buy necessary stuff. Moreover, some banks present short term loan for different classes of people.

That scarf is so cute that I've delayed getting up from my chair to pee just to tell you so!

I can't wait to see your Anais! I'll look to see if you're on Ravelry.

That scarf rocks! And you look fantastic too. Must be the pre-wedding-glow. It's coming fast & you'll have a fantastic time. Hope you had a lovely mini-vacay weekend.

Beautiful muffler and ipod cozy!

cutest little ipod holder ever. ;)

Your scarf and shirt are both tres adorable. I like that your classmate was so surprised that she had to yell across the room about your knitting.
Enjoy your weekend away and don't stress! Relax, it'll all be fine!

I love your scarf! The ipod cozy is cute. I was wondering, does your ipod slip out of the cozy or is it really tightly knit?

Oh, Juliet! Me, too! Me, too! This time you'll have to be the one encouraging me along, what with the baby coming and all that. You can pay me back for Forecast! Luckily this one's a bulky knit...

ya know what? When I'm knitting a scarf, my parents always call them mufflers.
And ya know what else? They call vests "chesters."

How fortunate you were knitting a lovely scarf in class. Much more useful in times of need than, say, a sock... Enjoy your wedding-plans-free weekend. By the end of it you 'll have ticked off 2 days without stress!

That story about knitting in class is very Elizabeth Zimmerman! I love the scarf. Look how pretty you look!
Posted by HibiscuitsGirl | September 7, 2007 6:24 PM
Yay! It's a lovely scarf, great job!
Posted by CJ | September 7, 2007 4:14 PM
I love the Zephyr pattern! How long before I can make that? Knitting in class...do you think I can knit and teach?
Posted by Roxanne | September 7, 2007 2:38 PM
Hee hee, it cracks me up that you snuck in a few rows in class and got caught!
Now go and relax already :)

LOVE the scarf - oops, muffler! Have a wonderful, beautiful, relaxing weekend - you deserve it for sure! And I bet it will be nice to get away from the wedding planning for a moment (my shoulders relaxed a little just thinking about it eegads why does there have to be stress!?!?). Also - I have that shirt with a green background and love it. SO soft. Yay leaves!

Scarf is so so cute. The shirt you are wearing? Also very cute.
And gosh, is it really that close to wedding day. Wow. I can't wait to see all the pictures of the event.
Enjoy the last month and a half of bachalorette life. The ol' ball and chain is a-coming. (kidding)

YOU are the fastest. knitter. I know.
Except maybe Jodi, whose hands are a blur.
I LOVE THAT JULIET sweater and I just bought the pattern. We will be twinsies. OH! Wait! You are a twin. Damn.

i love your finished chevy scarf. and that you wore it while knitting. i brought mine to work today to knit a few rows also. i SO want to finish this project.

I love that you were "outed" in class. That makes me larf.
I remember wedding stress. Ew. That is why I only gave myself six months to plan. i would have done it in a month if certain other people would have let me. I hate dragging such things out.
But you will do great and things will work out and hey, you have a Mac now. So life is good. Enjoy your break.

Yay muffle! Super-cute. And good thinking on the video iPod cover--I need to make one of those. Although if I got mine all scratched up, then I'd be totally justified in buying one of those new iPhone-like pods, wouldn't I be?
Posted by Ashley | September 7, 2007 9:02 AM
Relax about the wedding -- everything will be fine! I survived, and you will too.
The "muffler" is adorable!
Posted by Sarah | September 7, 2007 8:05 AM
That scarf is so cute - it looks fab on you! and I really love your top, too, BTW. Super cute. Can't wait to see your Juliet - I am sorely tempted to buy yarn for it, I can tell ya.
Posted by Elizabeth | September 7, 2007 12:51 AM
Yeah! The scarf looks amazing, job well done. It's always fun to read your new posts, they bring much joy and entertainment. Have a great weekend of relaxing...and no wedding planning (how could that not be relaxing???)

A muffler! I love that! I think I'll be calling all my wooly scarves 'mufflers' from now on.... and your chevron muffler is cute as pie!
