Sure, it's too short, and it started out a little skinner than it ended up, but guys... I completed something! Besides, it's the perfect size for this new trend I'm really pushing to start:
It's called 'Knit-Bandit Chic'. And it's the next hottest thing for all the other knitters out there. Just imagine if I could start a guild of Knit-Bandits, pillaging yarn stores, discarding shitty fabrics with huge gypsy bonfires, knit fu training... afghan only parties... Mm....
But anyway, I started a new project, working with both the knit and purl stitches: Coasters! Here's how mine looks so far...
I like the way it looks, but I think I'll modify it. It's too big for a normal coaster, so I suppose it would be good for huge mugs, or smaller tea pots. I think I may attempt a couple of bracelet ideas with this yarn, too. It's cotton, and was a couple bucks more than the acrylic I used for the scarf, but well worth it. I originally tried the coaster on a much cheaper brand of cotton, and it just kept separating, causing me to create extra loops, and got all unravel-y. But I bought it in blue and purple, and need to use it, so I'll try something much simpler with that yarn. Anyway, I started this last night, and am about 75% of the way done, so these are super quick. My goal is to have four done by Sunday. But I really want to work more on accuracy now, getting the rows the same size, not pulling too tight.
All right, off to dinner and karaoke!

Great knitting! It definitely takes time and patience -- more love to you :)
