Oh my! You're crocheting, too!!
Wow, I'm jealous of your library! I thought I had a lot of books, but I see a few I might be missing...
Great sock yarn, too!
I hadn't discovered a couple of those podcasts, so thanks! Lovely yarn too.
we just got home from spring break in FLA--those podcasts and my knitting saved me during the travel time!
A little late, but it was so great to finally meet you in person at the Yarn Harlot event. Looking forward to seeing you again!
Good for you! What a very cool-looking scarf. Great yarn choice for it, too.
Good-bye, rut!
Thanks, I'm feeling all calm now.

Sounds like the recipe for a perfect weekend!
Crochet must be the new black. It's everywhere!
I love #3!
Also, you and I are bookshelf twins as I have EVERY SINGLE knitting book that you have, including the Craft magazine charter issues! Great minds think alike....or fools seldom differ, take your pick!;)
Wow, that scarf is something else! Cool. :)
Tincture of time, or try some rut-begone:)
Thanks for the podcast links! They're so great to listen to while knitting, it's so meta it makes my head spin. Great post.
Tell me where I can find the pattern for the Boteh scarf. I have a friend who would LOVE that for Christmas!
Sounds like a recipe for success. Your Campfire Socks are looking beautiful.
Your bookshelf is nearly identical to mine!
Mmm, and the crochet is lovely. I like that pattern.
Hooray for the return of mojo! Sock yarn in particular always helps me out of a funk. So many choices!
dude i am so jealous of your library! Seriously... seriously jealous.
Thanks for the podcast links!
BRILLIANT!
But I, too, want to browse *your* library. :-)
Nice book stash! Nice yarn! Nice WIP!!! I still have not plucked up my courage to try crochet, but I'm seeing some lovely scarves out there... good for you!
What a nifty scarf!!!
Looks like a perfect plan!
It's nice to see someone else that fell in love with the Boteh scarf (from the latest Interweave Crochet). I'm making one as well.
It appears that yours is spiralling in on itself...I think it's supposed to look more like alternating leaves on a branch. The decrease side of the double-half crochets rows should be toward the smaller end of the prior triangle.
Maybe that's how yours is looking and I just couldn't tell from the picture.
