So that got me to 8am and wondering what to do next. Decided on a DVD and have a play with the energised yarn. Energised basically means an over spun single, ie not plied together. It essentially knits sideways. For it to show better on my scarf I should have made the stripes deeper but I am happy with the result and the slubs in it are ok too.
Then after all that it was lunchtime and walked the doogie for a while and have now decided to pull out some yarn and hook and see if I can crochet a sock lol. I think that is the to do list covered plus a couple of extra's. Now I need to concentrate on not making any more knitting projects as I still have a pair of socks, Lance's jumper, blue scarf and white scarf on the list.
Hope everyone else had a wonderful FNWF too.

you have done well katherine,enjoy your long weekend.xx
well done ticking all your fnwf items off the list.
I like the new scarf knitting and I'm with you on the belt issue. Nice cardigan pattern for your gorgeous yarn.
Well done on completing your list. Looking forward to the crochet sock experiment, I have looked at those patterns but thought they would be very thick and uncomfortable. Can't wait to hear how it goes.
Enjoy your weekend.
Great to have completed your sewing projects so you could sit and knit while the machine is churning away.

I like that cardigan pattern. I imagine the belt photo is just to show you another option for wearing it, given that there don't seem to be buttons.
I love the pincushion too. You're on a roll!
I like your knitted cardigan too! Sounds like your enjoying your weekend!
Isn't it great, just to get some things finished.
gorgeous pin cushion and the knitting is beautiful...
I like your pattern. Love your pin cushion too
Your making me wish I could knit. Enjoy your weekend. hugs
Beautiful work there Katherine... you are a true crafter when you have so many projects on the go at the same time!! x
You did so well ticking things off your list! Lovely pincushion!!
Love the pincushion, great crotchet too. You've inspired me - thank you
The pin cushion is so lovely x
The Persian wool looks great - put it on my list for when I've knitted up what I have! Lovely pattern. I agree about belts - reduces comfort, which is one of the best things about knits ( and I thought that even in the days when my waist was worth drawing attention to!)
