Moonlight Knitter

My yarn I ordered from elann.com arrived last Saturday. So I got started right away on the Lacy Kerchief Scarf from Interweave Knits (scroll down). I have been cruising along pretty good-

It is measuring 43 inches long. I am almost done increasing. So I should be past half way by tonight. My gauge is off a little, but I didn't worry since it is a wrap. I am getting 22 stitches to 4" instead of the 20. And my row gauge is way off! No biggy! The yarn is sonata in grey slate. I am calling it pewter. The second picture is the best representation of the color. This is my first chart reading! I am loving it! It took some getting used to, but now easy as pie. I am using a lifeline at every couple pattern repeats. I have had to use it once. I was glad I had used it. I will just say that I think lace knitting is fun and a challenge, but it does not pair well with a 4 year old and a 2 1/2 year old! Also, this has gotten to the point where it is not portable. So it stays by my chair and I pull it out when I know I have at least ten minutes. Or when Hubby is home, so there is someone else to jump to attention with the next crash/ fall/ scream/ cry. I will say this- My life is not dull!

Also, Hubby has a few swifts in stock at etsy. What are you waiting for, go get one! krebsbach4.etsy.com Free shipping!

Also, just a little tease. Next month is my one year blogiversary. Keep an eye open, there will be a prize or two!
