My fingertips are soar and it feels like I have small parts of wool in my throat. The yarn does wear off small threads/pieces when I’m working with it, I think I’m inhaling it or it could be something my mind made up. Not sure yet.

Anyway, the knitting is going very good! I’m half way through the first scarf  and my fingertips feels like they used to when I practiced playing on my guitar 15 years ago.. I think it’s getting better the more I knit but hopefully I’ll be able to let my fingertips rest today at least. Knitting is very addictive and my boss said “it looks a bit manic Therese…”, I laughed and put the knitting away.

Yesterday I got another package with crafting stuff! YAY! I have been waiting almost three weeks and it was full of goodies!
Some scrapbooking items, some jewelcrafting materials, something for sewing and a few other projects I have to create.
I noticed ten bolts of acrylic yarn and I remembered what my needles were for, I’m going to knit a shawl. I put up 58 stitches and started knitting a few rows stocking stitch.

It will be about 50 cm wide, not sure how to finish it, if it’s going to be a long scarf or if I’m going to sew two pieces together and make it a V or so.. I’ll figure it out later on!

When I knitted the first rows I realized the shawl will be very warm! Just by holding the yarn made my fingers warm and cozy, the white scarf makes my fingers colder, but that could be because of the metallic needles.. the other ones are made out of plastic. I hate them.
