Don't rock the boat...

...it's gettin' kinda "Wavy" in here. Of course, by now probably everyone knows that the new Knitty is out. Can I just say, wow...so many fun patterns! I told myself when I first looked at it, that I wouldn't start anything until after Christmas. Well...I had been looking for a scarf pattern that was a little bit different, fun, but different to make a scarf for the "Scarf Swap" that I'm participating in. Nothing was working with the yarn that I had been sent, arrgh. The deadline was/is approaching fairly quickly...yeah, Knitty to the rescue! May I present you with Wavy:

I am loving how this knits up! I had to restart it once because I wasn't paying attention while I was riding to the basketball game on the Lite Rail on Monday night. It's a little slow going at first, but now that I repeated the pattern, I'm on a roll. I'm using Cascade Yarns Quatro in color #9432. Here's a picture that is a little bit closer! I noticed yesterday that Carolyn over at Split Yarn is making a Wavy scarf using Noro Silk Garden...and it is bee-u-tee-ful!! Go cheeck it out!! Seriously...that girl is super talented, check out her fun "Scrabble" stitch markers that she has for sale!! I NEED some of those;-) All right, I have to get ready for work now...I'll keep everyone posted on how the wavy scarf knits up, but so far, so good!

AND...last, but certainly not least...there is a pattern by Libby of Creazativity in this issue of Knitty! It's called Belle Epoque Yeah Libby! Your pattern is amazing and the pictures of you are so fun...what a cutie! I feel like I know a knitting rockstar since she comes to one of my knitting groups...does that make me a groupie? Congrats Libby!!
