Yarn Along...

This week was all about new skills!  I finished up my stockinette scarf and gave blocking a try.  It was easy to learn how to block after checking out a few YouTube videos.  However, apparently things made up of the stockinette stitch like to roll up on themselves and refuse to flatten.  So.

Onto Scarf No. 2.  I decided that I would try to learn the Seed Stitch.  I love it!  It is easy and though I have to really concentrate, the result is so beautiful!  I started working on the scarf in the french blue and realized that I was going to use up all of the french blue yarn that I have before the scarf would be completed.   I decided to dip into a navy blue of the same type of yarn that I was planning to use for the third scarf.  I learned how to switch colors (which I swore that I would never learn how to do a month ago) by watching a video.  The color changes are really not very professional looking and I don't know how much I actually like the stripes, but I will continue to persevere.

We are reading through the Kaya stories for school and are going to start to reread Milly Molly Mandy today.  I bought the October issue of Martha Stewart Living yesterday and am enjoying all of the articles on autumn delights...  hopefully the weather will start to cooperate!
