Completed Projects: Vintage Velvet Scarf and Felted Clutches

Knitting: I've noticed that I'm on a "vintage" kick these days. In a recent previous post I completed a "vintage car coat." In this post I'm showing off my completed "vintage velvet scarf." I absolutely adore this scarf. It is a birthday gift so I will have to part ways with this beauty of a scarf very soon. Here is a picture:




















Also, I've been working on some felted clutches over the summer. I've modified the pattern quite a bit and made it my own. A friend of mine is now selling them at her store in Madison - Lady Moxie. Here are a couple of pictures.







































Reading: I have no idea why this is stuck on underline - it is very annoying. Well I finally decided on the perfect books to read right now. One fiction one nonfiction. Fiction - The Posionwood Bible - I'm loving this so far. Nonfiction - A People's History of the US.

Running: I went running once last week - opps!

That is all for now.

Knitting Under the Influence ...

Reading: Who knew that there was such a book titled, "Knitting Under the Influence." I saw this book at the library tonight and had to pick it up. I must admit that the book sounds very cheesy. However, since I have knitted "under the influence" a few too many times I thought that it may be interesting.

Knitting: I'm finishing up a sweater right now. I'm weaving in all the ends - this is the part of knitting that totally sucks. Finishing is one of the items that takes me forever - mostly because I keep putting it off since I despise doing the finishing.

Running: I have not been on a run in two weeks - terrible I know. I'm planning to go running this weekend for sure. One of my friends is participating in the IronMan Wisconsin this weekend - I'm so excited for her.
