The only answer to my frayed nerves is to knit....on size 20mm needles with my beautiful 'Alien Bumps' yarn from Guttersnipe! I love it...look at the close up photo..it looks like strange alien cocoons!
Scary photo....but look how happy I am with my new scarf!

finished it in just a couple of hours!! Pattern by Kathleen Rogers, 'Vitreous Humor scarf' or otherwise known as the 'eyeball boa', unfortunately mine is without the eyeballs! You can find it for free on Ravelry.
I guess now that I've finished i should get back to my lacy red garter and socks:( all knitted on 2.50 needles...now that's not therapy!

Oooh how lovely. I love big chunky textural yarn for a quick project...and seeing that I can't sleep, maybe I should knit!
ReplyDeleteThe scarf is gorgeous and has a lot of personality!
ReplyDeleteHow cool! I really want to try my hand at spinning some more art yarns but I don't ever use the stuff...
