Talking points (and double-points)

Ah, my poor neglected blog ... but I have a few status reports:

• Mom's Sophisticated Scarf -- finished!
• Knucks -- not yet embroidered, but otherwise finished! They've been keeping my hands toasty at work, as promised.
  
• Booga Bag -- I need to felt the handle and assemble it, but the knitting is done! It came out better than I could have hoped, and yes, the Cascade DID enable me to use only two skeins of Noro Kureyon. The base and 2-3 rows of the sides are Cascade, along with the handle; the rest of the body of the purse is 2 skeins of Noro. Details and pix to follow.
• I've started my first socks and joined Socktoberfest 2006. I'm finally using some of those tiny sock needles I gushed about here (although not the tiniest of that lot -- they're size 1s.
• I've also made a sort of bowl-ish thing that I need to felt. I began it at ...
• ... the knitting retreat I attended a week ago.

So much time and so little to blog about ...

(... strike that. Reverse.)

Missed it by that much

Little updates:

• The scarf is knitted! It's down to the finishing now ...
  
• The Knucks are ... almost knitted! I need to motivate myself to do another repeat and a half of the textured cuff pattern, which involves switching stitches back and forth between my two circs in a carefully orchestrated ballet that I always worry that I've done wrong. Much concentration is required. (But it looks good. And the actual stitching is kinda fun ...)
• Next on the needles: A Booga Bag, in pink-green-blue-aqua-purple Noro Kureyon with some matching solid hot pink Cascade 220 (?) to supplement the Kureyon. I think I will stitch the bottom in the solid, and perhaps the strap ... I'll have to do a bit of math to figure out where to put it in the body of the purse.
