New Project and it’s not a sock

I finally started a new knitting project that is not a sock.  I am knitting the Minnie scarf (also goes by the name of Bobble scarf) by Jumpers Cable knitting.  I am using Manos Silky Blend in color 300A (a blue color).  I love this yarn.  I am also using a size 7 needle.  The scarf is a sideways scarf and is easy to knit. This is the first time I am using the new version of the Signature Cable needle and I love it.  The cable is really nice and so are the needles.

I finally finished my Chevron Scarf that I started in March of 2007.  I used Blue Moon Fiber Arts yarn in Watermelon Tourmaline and Farmhouse with a size 5 needle.  I have blocked the scarf and it blocked at over 80 inches.  So, it’s a nice size scarf.  I am very happy with this.  I love the colors.

So, I am down to the following old projects that I need to finish:

1. Central Park Hoodie

2. Mystery Stole – which is my next project to finish

3. Olivia Sweater

4. Ripple Afghan

5. Afghan Squares from the Great American Afghan.  - I really only started this in November and only did about 2 or 3 rows on the first square.

The rest of the projects that I have on the needles are newer projects that I have been working on.  I figure that I will finish the Mystery Stole and then start working on the Central Park Hoodie again in September.  I am feeling really good about my goals for 2011.

I have also finished the first Abstract Fiber sock in Sweet Pea and cast on for the second sock.  I am using size 1 needles.  I just love this yarn.

It’s really nice not working.  I am getting a lot of things done around the house and a lot of knitting done.  I am certainly NOT bored.
