It is absolutely pouring outside (as it has been doing for days on end, it seems)! And I have another bout of the pesky cold I always seem to get, so I was feeling miserable and decided a blog update was in order. I have really only been making scarves, as I can do so without thinking while I'm on the phones at work. But I also have a few UFOs kicking around, which I will post next time along with my sock! Yes, singular, I just made it past the cuff, I'm so terrible. But it is a nice looking sock, I'm calling it Peaches n' Berries. Which also makes me think of the Peach and Strawberry Crisp I made a while ago (Frozen Fruit + Ingredients for a crisp= one amazingly quick and tasty dessert).
Anyways, enough of my delirious ramblings. Here are 5(!) scarves, one only halfway finished, the others just needs some ends sewn in.

Carlos thinks it's a good place to lay
But thought being a psycho kitty would be more fun!
That's it for now, I hope to update this week with more knitterly goodness!
