Two Years Is a Lot of Scrap

I know I am a total knit nerd for even knowing this, but

TODAY IS MY TWO-YEAR KNITTIVERSARY!!!




Two years ago today I cast on my first scarf with novelty yarn (Lion Brand Incredible) on size US 13 aluminum needles. Now all I want to say to myself is, "You've come a long way, baby!"

So, I've been obsessed with the Scrappy Little Hat lately.



I'm knitting a second, in lovely greens and blues that everyone seems to respond positively to.



But my big news about my current obsession is that my photo is featured on the Scrappy Little Hat* pattern page on Ravelry. The designer liked my "square decreases" -- to the point where she is now going to knit one herself using my decrease method. (The joke is, I only did that because I am useless at the math of knitting, and didn't have the right stitch count to do eight decreases, so I went with four and hoped for the best.)

There are also a few other photos of mine that people on Ravelry have asked to display in an "official" capacity.

And speaking of photos, Carolyn has a funny photo in her Rhinebeck Goodies blog post that shows me wearing my famous "Cougar Boots". They are very shiny. And very red. Like a fire engine. (Luckily they were quite comfortable and not too hot to wear.) You can also see that I am wearing my Noro scarf around my neck. (Hey, it was Rhinebeck! You have to wear something you knit yourself. It's de rigueur.)
