I haven't updated this in a while. oops. No wonder nobody reads it!
In short, I've been vacationing it up and being lazy and haven't had the motivation to update. But I'm back!

Peacock scarf -- DONE! and gifted - recipient loves it! hooray! (she also had me teach her how to knit! how exciting!)

I also scrapped the mittens I started.... they weren't working out, and the needle size was wrong wrong wrong.

BUT! I started some socks (again)! I got some wonderful Lorna's Laces sport yarn in "Irving Park" that I started a pair of socks in. I'm excited cuz they're actually knitting fast! YAY! The best part is I can knit them on size 4 needles *whew*

I'll leave you with some scarf pictures:
