Current Knitting Project: Doctor Who Scarf

Current Knitting Project: Doctor Who Scarf

I’m really in love with the way this scarf is looking. It took me a bit of trial and error to get the colors right; they don’t match the original perfectly (the purple should be more red, the green more brown-ish and the brown should be more orange), but they do balance well together the way the colors in the original did, and honestly, I prefer my variations of color to the ones that perfectly match. I’m surprised how quickly I’ve blazed through this. It is a long scarf however; even though it’s going quickly it’s not going to be finished soon.

I think I’ll wait until spring to make that decision, as the weather is changing and making it unlikely we’ll be out riding until then.

We totally put this flag on the mailbox

We totally put this flag on the mailbox

We did a bunch of cleaning and repair work at the rental house over the weekend. We had thought we were done, but the property manager came back with a big fat list of stuff they wanted done before they would agree to list the house. So back over there we went to knock out a bunch of them. One of them was putting a new flag on the mail box because the last renters ripped it off. Who does that, really? How odd.

Super Hero Cape

Super Hero Cape

This is one of my current knitting projects – super hero capes for kids. I’m making at least three and possibly four of them; two red, (for Superman and Supergirl) one blue (Batgirl) and one white with gold trim (oh Mighty Isis), for some small folks I know. I started Saturday and made significant progress on one of them.
