What’s this? Knitting? My god, a MIRACLE.

There is nothing like keeping a blog to make myself really notice when I do certain things, and one of the things I’ve definitely realized is how closely my knitting is tied to being busy. Over the holidays, when I wasn’t doing much of anything, I didn’t really want to knit at all. But since I’ve started back at school, I’m right back at it as much as ever.

This is, of course, the beginning of one of the ubiquitous Noro striped scarves. For the non-knitters – basically, this is done by taking Noro yarn (which has long, gradual colour changes) in two different colourways, and striping them together every two rows. The colours that stripe against each other will gradually change, and if you do it right, it looks really cool. Also, at the end of it, you get a warm winter scarf to wear.
