The Age of the Scarf

So I've rediscovered my penchant for all things crafty is being fulfilled in my task of knitting a Dr. Who scarf for Josh.

So far I've spent probably at least $30-$40 on wool, but have got about all I need for now. Josh begrudgingly accompanied me to the shops so he could pick the colours. There's some really nice acrylic blends, as well as an angora mix which is really soft!

I really thought when I started that it was going to be an insurmountable job...just adding row by row would take forever.

But, much to my pleasure, I'm only about a week in, and it's already starting to look like a scarf!! (see below)

Hooray!

Dr Who Scarf

I looked up some info about knitting Josh his very own Dr Who scarf today.
Apparently there are a lot of superstitions surrounding such an act. Primarily that you will break up if you're not married to the person.
Thousands of stitches await me - I'll just have to remember how to cast on!

At least I've got a bit of time before Kiwi winter sets in.

Some little 'shampoo'* broke into my car today!
Just days before I was due to sell it...*sigh*

In other news, packing progress hasn't been made on my part.

Josh has completed his 'preliminary pack' and ascertained that he can in fact leave with just the two bags he came with. I, however, after resolving to cull my clothing futher, have managed to purchase a new jacket, but not get rid of anything else!

ARGH!

What a mess!

I just want to be on the plane already!
