 It's been a while - I need to get into a habit of posting even if I don't have a pictures ready. I did finish several objects but I don't have pictures so I didn't post...
  It's so hard to get good pictures of knitting! I don't have good lighting in the apartment, so everything comes out looking very unsatisfactory. I take sometimes 20 pictures to get one that's "good enough". I have lot to learn on how to take good photos of knitting, that's for sure.
 Anyways, Steampunk Scarf (Dark side) is done. It's the same pattern (Antlers scarf) as I used for Steampunk scarf, except that wool is dark varigated - it's for my DH, and whole scarf is whooping 72". Well, he is a big guy and I can make even longer and it will fit still, but I run out of yarn (whole 2 skeins of Purewool, I think each is 240 yards). It was done just on time for Valentine's day :) Picture is coming...
 And I managed to loose my darning needle, so I tried to buy another one and none of the shops around had any. I really don't understand that - it's not everyday purchase, sure, but those needles are useful in many other crafts! Finally one of them sold me kids needles, I didn't mind that are plastic, but opening is too small to be useful with thicker yarn. Some people don't think when they sell you stuff, I asked will this be ok for regular knitting and she was "Sure" ... So I went and bought set of 3 on www.knitpics.com. That tells you something about local shops in San Francisco, and why I prefer to buy stuff on internet even when it's not cheaper.
