a library copy of nom nom paleo
finally came in for me.
a couple of my friends have turned paleo
and have been posting several delectible delights
from this cookbook on facebook.
it is a good one,
filled with beautiful pictures and
a suprisingly large collection of vegetarian dishes.
her coconut pineapple rice is to die for !!!
i might just have to get myself a copy for christmas.
i finished unravelling a this thrifted sweater i found
and used the yarn to knit another scarf.
the sweater was unwearable
(at least i couldn't wear it)
and the yarn was too beautiful.
...so the unravelling process was so much fun.
the picture below shows the almost finished product
yup...it's another scarf.
did i mention i was a novice knitter????
however... here's some exciting news.
i just purchased some double pointed needles
and found myself a beginner's sock tutorial...
wish me luck !!!

Look at you go with those thrifted sweaters. That yarn looks great knit up into a scarf. And hey, everyone needs to start somewhere, right? Happy sock knitting :)
ReplyDeleteThat yarn is gorgeous - love the scarf! Good luck with the sock knitting - you will be addicted!
ReplyDeleteFun! I haven't attempted socks yet, I'm a beginner too :)
ReplyDeleteSocks are not as tough as you might think. I recommend the Fish Lips Kiss Heel found on Ravelry. It is SO much easier than others I have tried. Good luck! :-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! What a great re-use of a gorgeous yarn!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great find that sweater was! It's made a great scarf :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your socks! Careful, I hear it's addictive once you start (says the committed crocheter ;D). Hope you have fun with it.
Good luck with the sock. I have yet to attempt them. Your scarf is very pretty. I like your thrifted yarn.
ReplyDeleteVery creative taking a thrifted item and turning it into another item! I love the look of the yarn and I think it turned out beautifully as a scarf. I'm at the practise-and-unravel stage myself as a knitter but I'll get there too! You'll manage the sock knitting well, I shall be interested to see how they look finished!
