Pulled outta that funk!

I finally pulled out of the knitting funk I was in. I decided to cast on the Irish Walking Scarf, and I am still working on my own pattern of legwarmers for dance. I have some pictures to show the progress I have made. For the scarf I couldn't pick the picture I wanted to use so I am going to show them both :).

First here is a good picture of the cable pattern. I think it is rather pretty.

Next is a picture that shows the color better. It is a really pretty pink. I am using baby alpaca yarn for the scarf, which is the softest stuff I have ever worked with.

Here is a shot of the legwarmers. I noticed at the feiseanna that many of the dancers were wearing them. I figured hey, rather than pay for them, I'll use up some of that stash yarn. I am using some Lion Brand WoolEase. I'll post the pattern for them as soon as I am finished.

I used a simple twist cable pattern that doesn't show up very well, but I'll post a better picture later.

I have decided to join the Mystery Stole 2, which KGF found the information on. We thought it would be a fun project to work through together, and as she is very good at knitting lace, I shall learn from the best. She is also going to teach me how to do some socks, so I need to use my stashalong day off and go to my LYS and get the right needles and sock yarn. Other than that I have been busy cleaning the house and trying to get our hot tub fixed for summer use. Summer is such a nice bonus of being a teacher.
