right or left or wrong or inside out!

Well, I've gone back to knitting correctly! I guess my transgression was merely lack of attention and not having any real life in person lessons. The right way does feel better to me and I'm flying along now even with a ribbed stitch! K2, P2.

Scarves in progress:
mine - 80% done. nice white/tan/brown speckly yarn. skinny scarf with the ribbed thing goin on.

dad's scarf - this thing never gets done! the yarn is so pretty but i bought it before i understood GAUGE! lesson being.....a bazillion stitches to the inch takes a long time to knit a scarf up. egads. little miss impatient here. but it is about 70% done depending on how long i decide it should be.

the BAM other scarf - .......hmmmmmmmm........this one has been unraveled like 5 times. I started with a ribbed stitch and was doin' it wrong. Got that together and hated it with this gorgeous cashmere yarn. So then switched to standard big ole needles and garter all the way. still don't really like it. ????!!! should I unravel yet again? I'm on the last skein so it would be a lot of unraveling. But darn it. I'm just not happy with it.

scarf that has fallen away...........the pink one. Blossom yarn by Trendsetter. Super super soft yummy stuff. I guess it looks too kidlike for me and I've kinda lost interest. I'll get into it again.

Scarves to make:
Step son: MAX. red/black stripey. 11 years old so not too long.
Step daughter: CHARLOTTE. pink/black stripey. 19 years old. English and oh so cool. Not sure on length but whatever is cool and trendy and she deserves the hippest.
Step daughter: SAMANTHA. she hasn't said what color yet. 17 years old. English and stunningly pretty. Should lean towards gentle colors has her skin is so pale.
Step daughters sister: EMMA. she is 8 or 9 years old and very fun. wants rainbow colored scarf. Should I do stripes or find rainbow yarn? bright or pastel? these are the questions that plague me at night.
Band mate: LUKE. fellow guitarist in the band. wants red/black stripey. skinny and not too long.
Hubby: BAM. wants another scarf. But this one to be thin and skinny. Black, of course.

ALSO.......have to find simple pattern for baby hat. For fellow rockers Nigel and Angie's daughter: CHARLY. in baby colors. I got dpn needles but totally gripped with fear as to starting the darn thing.

work is taking up a lot of energy. Band is rehearsing in one hour. So I gotta split and go rock it out on my Les Paul. Bam has been mixing the album and he's really got it now. He is actually remixing it as he didn't like the first set of mixes. After much debate, he's actually moved his computer into the studio so he has everything he needs in there.

MOOD: tired but hopeful.
CONFESSION: the stitch n bitch book is next to my bed! Everynight I gaze at it to fall asleep.

Oh my god, you're site is great, you're so much cooler than me and so cute...oh I think I need a cookie now. Oh also I think you're my neighbor on the knit blog ring. Since you are teaching yourself to knit, if you ever have a question/concern...please feel free to ask, if I dont know I'll find out (sorry did that sound condescending?)
