One ball of yarn down.
September 1st, 2003 by Donna
Work on the scarf is progressing, thanks to the long weekend (click the photo for a closer view), and I used up my very first ball of yarn. One ball of yarn down, three million to go. Christine Lavin says that you should cover knitting mistakes with sequins, and while this scarf needs some sequins, it’s a respectable first effort. 
I’m also a little tired of it, and ready to make sweaters and socks, truly useful everyday clothing. My friend Beverly taught herself to knit by making several of the sweaters from Knitting Pure and Simple, including this v-neck tunic - I’d make it a little more cropped (so I guess it would no longer be a tunic), but I’m all over that v-neck. How fun would that be?
In other news, I made a new design for Knit One, Purl Too using the Firda-matic page maker from Firda Beka - kind of a bring your own graphics and colors, take away a new layout kind of thing. Cool, huh? (See the three-column version here.) Only about 14 inches to go on that scarf - and that’s not counting the fringe.

the new layout is very fun - will you be switching to that?
You know, now that I can add a third column to it, I just might - I also have a jillion other fonts to try for the title, so I’m definitely not done playing. Glad you like it!
Donna, really glad to see you here again. I still like this layout best (in case you were wondering). And the scarf is looking lovely! I recently made a pair of men’s socks out of the same denim style yarn and they are soooo soft. Congrats on your second domain name too!
I like your new domain name! Perfect for a knitting site. Keep rolling on that scarf - I know you’re probably tired of knitting row after row of the same thing but soon you’ll have a neat-o scarf to wear this winter. And! You’ll get to start your other projects when you’re done
