I have really been slacking in the knitting department lately. I'm not really sure why, but in order to get myself quickly back in the habit, i picked a project that i knew would be really quick (that way it wouldnt just get lost in the sea of procrastination).
Luckily, i've had some Rowan Big Wool yarn around forevvver and could never decide what to do with it. So, i whipped out an Aspen Hat from Twinkle's Big City Knits.
I used size 15 needles, instead of 19, and subsequently added a few stitches to the pattern.
ALSO, i finally started knitting a Gryffindor scarf for my roommate. As she puts it, she cant have lived with 2 roommates who knit and leave without any knit accessory. I've been meaning to knit one of these. I'm using Rowan 220 Wool yarn, 2 skeins of each color. As you can see, i haven't finished yet, but it's nice to knit something so straightforward; it's knit in the round so i don't even have to purl!
May i add, that i recently became a Ravelry member! its a very cool site, and i would recommend it, it makes finding other people's FO's so much easier than scouring blogs and flickr accounts. Plus i'll probably put more pictures of FO's there, instead of here.
