Holiday Knitting/Bad Timing

Who decides to start a knitting blog right before the holidays? That may have not been the best idea. I am currently consumed with holiday knitting, but I can't talk about it here because you never know if the recipient/s will be reading.

This is the only thing I'm working on right now that I can really talk about. It's the Multidirectional Diagonal Scarf. I know a lot of people who make this use Noro Kureyon, which is a fantastic striping yarn, but the sample I saw knitted up at The Yarnery was made with Mega Boots Stretch sock yarn. And it looked great. So that's what I'm using.

This weekend, I'll be baking bread for Thanksgiving and hopefully getting a chance to see how my new roving spins up. But I can't spend too much time on it - there's that holiday knitting I can't talk about, after all!

I like this pattern, both the way it looks and the license it gives in the instructions: "For a fairly solid-looking scarf, use the needle size recommended on the ball band of your chosen yarn. Go up a couple of needle sizes for a lacier-looking scarf." It suits my propensity to customize a knitting pattern.
