Stained Glass Apple

It turns out my sister kept the little project I made for her, so I was able to take a picture of it. Without further ado, I present: Stained Glass Apple. I'm overflowing with creative juices, I know.
My sister is a teacher, so I thought I'd do something school-themed. Hence the apple, pencils, division symbols, and books. I like the way it turned out and it looks pretty good with light shining through it, too. Takes a lot of time to make though!

On to the knitting news...

My friend helped me fix the scarf-thing. It turns out I had dropped a stitch two rows down from where I stopped and had tried to compensate by knitting the same stitch twice or something. Not entirely sure what I did, but it was easy to fix so all was well. We spent about four hours hanging out at the Teasource chatting and knitting.

Those of you in the Twin Cities metro area, if you have not been to Teasource or do not get their catalog, DO IT NOW. They're fantastic. Their chai mix is pure heaven and their tea selection is first rate. Excellent customer service, too.

Anyway, after getting the mistake fixed, I was able to "finish" it on Saturday. By finish, I mean run out of yarn. It's barely long enough for an acceptable Minnesotan scarf, so I need to decide if I want to buy another skein of yarn and make it longer or turn it into a cowl. I will likely seek opinions at knitting club this weekend.

After putting down the scarf-thing, I decided to use that raspberry Lion's Brand yarn I got to make a scarf. I did a little swatch and decided that I knit too damn tight, so the recommended needle size of 13 was just not going to work. Looked like I was knitting a dishcloth, not a nice, drapey scarf. As a result, I am completely out of knitting commission until I go to knitting club this weekend and can get new needles for the Lion's Brand yarn and decide what to do with the scarf thing.

On a brighter note, I got a bunch of knitting books in the mail today. May as well read about knitting if I can't actually knit!
