Well, I'm a couple weeks from officially graduating, with a nice 3.05 GPA, so maybe I'll have some more time to knit! Lately it's just been what I can concentrate on while at the call centre. So, it's just been scarves and dishcloths! plain ol' garter stitch work. with a few YO's thrown in for excitement. So, I've been using some interesting yarn, at least! Eyelash yarn is my friend, I care not for haters on the fashion yarns!
First up, two similar sideways scarves.
I'm wearing my custom "Weird Sisters" t-shirt. I <3 Tonks, and I'm attempting to put together a costume for the OOTP movie! Anyways, the scarves. Both are made lengthways, using various eyelash yarns.
Scarf #1:
Needles: US 15
Yarns: S.R. Kertzer
Serenade in colour 2241, Bernat
Boa in Emu (label said Racoon, but I see now that the label was switched!), S. R. Kertzer
Baby Monkey in colour 1052 (purple/yellow). The colours went together so interestingly, and it's so soft!
A close up of the stitches. very fuzzy!
Looks good on Mahoot!
Scarf #2
Needles: US 15
Yarns: S.R. Kertzer
Serenade in colour 2244, a Bernat Boa knockoff I paid $1 for at EFADS (Everything For a Dollar Store), the color is close to Boa's Toucan.
This one didn't turn out as nice. The colours didn't contrast enough, the Serenade got lost!

I decided to make a scarf with the rest of my Katia. I wanted a bit of a different look, so I added some YO's for a dropped stitch scarf. It's a bit short, but I'm just using it with a jacket for an accesory, not for warmth.
Needles: US 7
Yarn: Katia
Mexico in colour 5852.

Finally a scarf that matches my shirt! I LOVE this colourway, I couldn't pass it up when i saw it in the store. It reminds me of moon mist ice cream!
Needles:US 15
Yarn: Patons
Cha Cha in Vegas.

And last, but not least, circular dishcloths in Violet veil Ombre and Summer Splash (Bernat
Handicrafter)
That's it for now, I'll be casting on for my sock pal soon!
