No progress, ripping instead!

I wanted to finish Shifting Glaciers as a Christmas present for my bf. However, that possibility is going to be nearly impossible now.

I am about 1/3 into it and the more I look at it, the more I think the width of the scarf is not wide(read 'manly') enough. You see, I feel that 7" would be too much so instead of casting on the recommended 52sts, I cast on 42sts. Now, I am regretting it. I think 52sts would be much better. So I am going to rip all my progress and start again. =(

Or perhaps I should just made it for myself... But I think it's still not wide enough because it is so so cold here and I need a wide scarf to cover part of my face too!!!

P.S: I am getting so much use out of my malabrigo ribbed scarf. So soft, squishy and warm!!!

P.P.S: Oh and here's a link to my photo album of Kamakura, Japan if you are interested.

Lazy

I have been back in Munich for a week now and I have been very very lazy.

I did not tell any of my friends that I am back unless they happened to call me. The weather was bad last week with the high between 8oC-12oC (46F-54F) and that makes me even more lethargic.

Today is a public holiday here in Germany and I just lazed the whole day away. I am not ashamed to say that. I really enjoyed it! BUT I enjoyed lazing too much that I forgot that I should have taken pics of the stash that I acquired from the US recently!

Despite that, I did make some progress with my knitting. Here's a pic of my Tree Jacket.

I have since removed the stitches for the sleeves. Knitting is going so much faster now that the sleeves are off.

I started on the Shifting Sands scarf while waiting to board the plane to London about a month ago. Most of the progress was done while I was vacationing in UK.

This seemed to have become a travel knits as I have not touched it since I am back in Munich. I guess it's because I would really like to finish the tree jacket before the weather starts to get insanely cold here. The yarn is gorgeous - Sundara Sports Merino. And the color, just so pretty. I am making this for my beau. And if he doesn't like it, no problem, I will take it back in a second. ;-)

Ok, back to some more lazing before I have to think about going back to work tomorrow! =(
