DC Rollergirls Holiday Bash

The DC Rollergirls holiday show was a lot of fun. Being in a bar, it was much more relaxed than previous shows I had been to. Also considering the location, Rock n Roll hotel, and the fact in was on a Sunday night, there was a lot more traffic than I expected.
The best part though? I won a ticket to their next game. I am so excited to see a derby!

I agreed to make couch cushions. I realize now how big of an undertaking this was. I didn't realize it when i agreed to it. I have been working on it for two nights and I have maybe 15" done. This means if I do nothing else, I think I can get one done a week. 6 done in 6 weeks. It is like my grandfather's blanket all over again. Except hopefully this won't take five months.

Look- I finished the scarf. Didn't it come out so pretty?

The answer to what to do with two small skeins of free yarn? Make wrislets obviously. I made one from each. The multi colored one is blocking right now and and the pink one is on etsy.

Knitty's Blanket

For the blanket, I wanted a varigated yarn. As knitpicks only has multicolored yarn for socks, I had to branch out. I decided on cascade 220 painted. So far I am really pleased with it. It is knitting up really easily. My problem really is that I think there is something wrong with the pattern. For the middle rows from about 10 to 25 there is on stitch less and then magically it shows up again. The first time I thought I had made a mistake, but it happened the second time through, so I have decided it's not my fault. Otherwise I think it will be really pretty when its done.
