Sky Scarf- Two Month Update

My sky scarf project is still going well.  It's growing and growing each day.  It's fun looking back at what I have done and see stretches of weather.

Sky Scarf- One Month Update

As I mentioned at the start of the year, I am working on knitting a sky scarf this year.  Basically, I look at the sky each day and use the colors of the sky to add to my scarf.  Luckily (or sadly) I already had plenty of yarn on hand.  I was able to find enough blue and gray yarn in my stash to create different sky shades, although they are a bit interpretive.  Here is my progress after one month:

I've managed to keep up pretty well.  On days I don't knit I at least mark down the sky color so I can catch up later.  My main problem was figuring out how to keep all my yarn together and following along with me.  I made some mistakes at first and ended up with some hanging loops, but I'm slowly working it out.

ICC#33- Finishing Off Where I left Off

Our Iron Craft Challenge this week was UFO, the unfinished object.  The challenge was to find a project that you hadn't finished yet and...FINISH IT!  Seems simple enough; I have lots of projects that I have started and then never finished.  The challenge was, which one?

I chose a knitted coffee cozy that I had started about two years ago and never finished.  It was using a cable knitting technique which I learned for the project and sadly had forgotten since.

I begin thinking that I would finish the knitting project to make a coffee cozy.  But honestly, I had since made a coffee cozy that I use regularly and didn't really want to spend hours knitting something I didn't really want.  So, I made it into a bracelet!

I attached buttons and made yarn loops to close it with.  Ta-da!  A perfect fall accessory!
