I normally don't post knitting wips, but this time I figured, eh, why not. Since I've been doing a lot of it lately. ^^

First the G'Day boomerang scarf that I mentioned finishing previously. This one's still unblocked - I'm going to hold off on that until I'm feeling better.





I decided not to try to get the entire thing in the picture - my bedroom is not great for photographs - but at least you can see the nice colour variation in the yarn, and the texture detailing in the pattern. ^^ I really, really like this pattern a lot, it's so easy to memorize, so I can just turn my brain off while I do it. The yarn is Midnight Orchid by Kaleidoscope Dyeworks (they seem to be on hiatus for now? unfortunately) and I'm really glad that I picked this and a few other shades up... it's really nice to work with.

And second is the Curiosity scarf, which I've had to restart several different times because I kept losing my place in the pattern. Fffu. I'm not finished this one yet, but I'm certainly closer to it than I was before....





Again, not the whole thing, just enough to see the detailings in the pattern... This one is a really interesting shape - it's basically one looooong triangle - and fully reversible. I like the way it looks, though I don't know how it will be to wear it, haa. It's done in Malabrigo Arroyo, can't remember the name of the shade, and I really like working with this yarn a lot. The only downside is that I've been trying out some new needles wit this one, some circular Karbonz, and... they're super fancy but I must say I'm not a fan. They're too slippery for my liking.

Not sure what I'll do after I finish this one. :V Another project, of course (I have so much yarn) but the question is what.

Oooooooh, those both look beautiful. ♥

Those look beautiful, both of them!

I love that you knit, btw. It's something I have never managed to learn to do well, but when people can do it it's so impressive to see what they can make... and how it looks so effortless, too. You also said that you can just turn your brain off while doing it (at least if the pattern is easy enough), and I just can't imagine such a thing, because I'm just not good enough with it

Nice projects, though. Good luck with both!

They're both great, but I particularly like the colours in the first one - gorgeous.

<3 Thank you~

Yesss same. *_* I love the colour shifts in it sooo much.

<3 Aw, thanks!
I'm still kind of a newbie at it... mostly because anything that requires complicated shaping is beyond my patience. ;) Like mittens - way too much effort for my tastes. xD

I love them both! The colour combo of the first one is very nice, a hint of golden brown with lots of dark blue is one of my weaknesses. Btw it's great to knit and turn off the brain. For me it actually happens easier if I'm knitting something complicated because then my full attention is at what I'm doing, even though actual braining does not happen.

Yeah, I looove the little shifts in it. The gold is just enough to make it pop.

With complicated patterns, I find that I tend to get frustrated, because I'm still kind of noobish.... so yes, it does have my attention, but with the trade-off that it isn't very relaxing. ;p
