so on the way...

I am on the last two Avocado squares until I complete all of the squares, except the lone light gray square that i don't know where i'm going to scrouge up the yarn from. Then it's all the assembling... which I think I would be able to get done 2 squares per night or MORE at a time. I am so on my way!!

I simply can not keep a secret.. i was working on the squares and blurted it out to my dad that i was making him something for father's day. i suppose it was meant to be a surprise... le sigh. I am such a big mouth.

I got tired of doing squares, so I picked back up the claptois once more last night, and have finally finished all the straight rows, and is now onto the decreases... exciting times are ahead. I am soon... ok...maybe not so soon... to be finished with that. I think after i'm done with this clap, i'm going to give it to my mother...i think she would like it. The colors seems like colors she likes... the bright motherly colors. she could use it as a scarf, or a shawl or lap blanket...what a great gift to brighten up anyone's day.

I have thought to start Vicks' Hogwarts scarf... I must say, i dislike dpns...i rather just like circs... though i should get those interchangable ones, so i don't have to keep buying them. le sigh. if you peoples want to get me an xmas gift... please note, i'd like knitpick's optional circs... you can follow the link. or of course more yarn! like Vanna's new yarn... it's on sale at joanns for 2.99.

anyway a bit off topic. so vick's scarf. i thought i'd get a start on it... but thus far on the dpns... stockingnett the whole time is sorta boring... i sorta want to change it up... maybe make it a rib, and just make it the gryffindor colors? it was be stretchy... but not the traditional hogwarts scarf. I don't know if that's what she's looking for. I sorta want to just knit it in the straight, that way i don't have to use the dpns... Maybe i can find a shorter circ to work with.

thus far there has been no progress on anyone else's xmas gift... everyone might end up getting bought presents after all. tis much easier, doncha know!
