scrapbook

I just uploaded a bunch of photos and rearranged things in my LJ scrapbook thinger.

Added a few photos of the snakes and of Rune and made a big section of all my knitting projects, instead of them all hanging out in the Temp folder on my website.

Oh wow!

One day I hope to be as good a knitter as you! I'm already almost as consumed by it, as I've been collecting needles and yarn like crazy lately. I just learned to knit a week and a half ago and have already completed a nice striped scarf for my boyfriend's dad which was 2x2 rib. I have so many projects I want to do and I'm working hard to get good at them so they take me less time.

How long does it usually take you to complete, say, one of your scarves?

(And any good resources online for cheap blend yarns? All the stores around here sell NOTHING but acrylic or super-chunky yarn blends.... I'd just like something really reasonably priced that feels nice to the touch.)

Ee, thanks!

It is hard to say about scarves, since they can be long and boring... but that can be a plus when knitting while watching tv or commuting! Um...I can't really guess the amount of time, but a week doesn't sound unreasonable. Hats are soooo much quicker (like 2 evenings).

Cheap yarn online can be found at http://www.KnitPicks.com. They sell 100% wool and various blends. Their alpaca yarns are really nice as well. Another source is http://www.Elann.com, but that is only from hearsay. Ebay may be a good resource as well. I've found some nice discounts through http://www.Yarn.com, although colors are sometimes limited.
