My newest WIP

After about a 3 year hiatus from one of my LYSs, I dropped in yesterday for a look around. The hiatus was the result of a couple of less than stellar experiences. Fortunately, I recently came across a review of the store and, while I was not the only one who had a negative experience some time ago, it turns out that the place is under new, friendlier management. So, I bought some yarn. And some back issues of Family Circle Easy Knitting. (Apparently in one of the many moves over the last several years, they lost track of me...and I was too busy with mommying, working, schooling, and life in general to notice! I still like the magazine, so I'll probably restart my subscription ASAP.)



I picked up one hank of Ttrendsetter's Voila in a teal (color 05) and two balls of something Italian (no ball band at the moment, I'll get back to you on that...) in a muted rainbow colorway because I think my mother needs a Muppet-ish scarf. So here's the bias fella I started last night:







This gifty has no actual deadline, but it will be great for some mindless quick rows while working on my other guys. I'll introduce you to the others (as well as some recently finished objects) soon.



(Too many parentheses, right?)

It's nice to hear that the yarn store is a more pleasant place to shop now! Hopefully they were good enough to you that it won't be another 3 years before you go back!

I sprinkle my typing with parentheses! I think it's my most favorite key.

Welcome to blogland! (Trillian said to check you out.) I like the colors and who wouldn't love anything Muppet-like?
