Illusion Scarf
Mood:  a-ok
Now Playing: Putting scarf on hold

I have been knitting the Illusions scarf. I have 39 inches done on the scarf. But I am putting it on hold again. I have been waiting for my size 1 dpn needles to come in the mail, and they arrived Friday. I am going to knit a pair of socks with them. I have not knit a pair of socks on size 1 needles yet, and I am looking forward to it. I think that I will cast them on this afternoon.
