I
have not blogged in two months because of school. Thats just sad. Anyways.... here are some things ive been knitting. 
The navy and gold scarf is for my dad. He picked out the colors from knitpicks.com. The yarn is Andean Silk in navy and yarrow. I knit it in a broken rib:row 1-> p1,k1 *p1,k3* p1,k1
row 2-> *p1,k3*
row 3-> *k1,p3*
row 4-> k1,p1 *k3,p1*k1,p1
I did 8 reps of this before switching to a differnet color. I looks great on both sides.
Then I made the red and cream mittens. They are a pattern from Folk Mittens , Lopi Mittens. They are patterned after a cardigan from Iceland. I made them on too little needles so they came out for small hands. Then i made them for normal hands. The first pair is going to Sammy and the second to Jamie.
The stair-type-thingy is my new yarn storing trunk. Sean made it for me. It serves many purposes. I can now get on and off my bed, I can store yarn, and it is Aimee's perch, where she sits and watches TV.
I also made a baby blanket which took FOREVER to knit, but i forgot to take a picture of it before i gave it away. Also i made fingerless gloves that have a mitten flap to fold over, for Sean. I will get a pic of thoes when i remember to. Now I need to study for a test and work on a presentation. I will try to post more as my christmas present pile grows.
