Feeling Grafty!

I feel very thankful that the Fall edition of IK had some great instructions on grafting, because it enabled me to finish the Bunny Head Band:

You can't really see, but there the grafting turned out pretty nice! See?!?

So you might want to know, the Head Band is in Angora, and I used a simple, cute Fair Isle pattern from Ann Feitelson's great FI book.

Anyhow, this is not all that I've been up to in the past very busy week with all the craziness and, not least of all, the demise of my modem, which entailed a trip to 23rd Street to replace it. Of course, that's close to the acclaimed land known as Knit NY where I bought some KPM and some KPPPM which I'm going to use to try out a new idea that I have. That's when I'm not knitting this new scarf, using the Kersti I bought in Seattle:

That's going to need a lot of blocking. Can you tell that it's 5 rows of stockinette followed by 5 rows of reverse stockinette? It looks really nice in person!

But that's not all! I knit most of the front for Dad's Sweater! It has a fun cable up the front of it, and I'm basically right now at the point where I have to do the neck, so I have to figure out how many stitches to bind off. But the cable looks nice, which I wish you could tell in this photo:

So I feel bad about being gone from blogdom last week, but it's kind of cool to have so much neat stuff to show you all at once, don't ya think? And no, I haven't finished BGWA. Sorry, J&B!
