A new WIP: Dream Swatch Head Wrap

So I started another new project. Lately, I just can't seem to stay interested in anything long enough to finish. I finished one monkey sock and instead of finishing the other, or continuing with my Tomato Sweater, I cast on a new project. The other day, I saw Wendy Bernard's Dream Swatch on Irishgirlieknit's blog and fell in love. It looked like such a fun project and I loved the yarn that Irishgirlieknits used (Artyarns Regal Silk). Knowing I had something similar got me in the mood to knit one for myself. And since it is only a skein, I can use it for the current contest on Stash and Burn, my favorite podcast.

So I cast on last night using my own skein of Artyarns Regal Silk. It is a fun, easy to memorize pattern and I know I'll finish it pretty quickly and have that sense of accomplishment that I seem to be craving. Plus, who doesn't love knitting with 100% silk! This also is another reason why I love Ravelry. Without Ravelry, I never would have found Irishgirlieknit's blog! (You'll have to excuse my photo--it isn't the best. Definitely something that will need some blocking when I'm done.)

I sure hope yours goes quicker than mine did! Mine took forever for absolutely no reason!!

Love the colors you picked!! Now that I've finished mine, I want to cast on another. Mine came out about 50" and I actually want to make one a bit shorter.

And I would agree....I love ravelry for the same reason!! Thanks Jen!!!
