Yesterday morning I was looking around my craft room looking for something I could do a post about (and wear to keep me warm) and my hands landed on two cowls that I created over the summer. Cowls and scarves are becoming two of my favorite accessories.
Yarn: Caron Simply Soft Off White and Charcoal
Inspired by: Stitch Pattern in Alice Starmore’s Charts for Color Knitting
Despite the pattern lines, this one gave me little grief, although I do wish the bottom and top edges were a little tighter.
Acrylic yarn usually isn’t very warm, but the stranding on the inside makes it quite comfy.
So I used something from my library and stash, but I can’t really count it for the 2013 challenge, because I made it in the Summer of 2012.
Yeah…and about that library. I’ve had the sudden urge to catalog the whole thing. An ugly task, I know, but sometimes I really need to know what resources I have. I’ve used Ravelry to keep track of knitting and crochet resources, but that doesn’t include all the other crafty books, magazines, and patterns. Thankfully I can use s.pringpad’s barcode scanner to make easy work of most of it. I would rather spend more time creating than organizing.

Beautiful! Cowls are my favourite thing to make and that one’s beautiful.
As for cataloging the book stash, I have some of them in there, but not all … I guess I should do that too huh?
Yes! Do it! Do it! Let’s see how many books we have in common. I’m still waiting for that Ravelry Android app for instant access so that I can easily see my library when I’m on the go. At this rate I’m going to have to learn how to create the daggone thing myself! -Nizzy
P.S. It doesn’t help that I chose now also to pick my locs out … one by one! I’m nuts but I’m ready to rock my afro puff again. I don’t know how I’ll do this all in a short space of time.
Wow! How long have you had them? I’ve been thinking of going the loc route someday, but sometimes I don’t mind playing in my hair. -Nizzy
