Lots and Lots of Yarn

So I haven't updated since Thanksgiving :o!  I have been extremely busy, but one thing that has been consuming my time is knitting and indeed that means I have been procrastinating on my senior seminar paper.  I just finished two scarfs and of course I don't have images of either of them.  One of them was a present for my boyfriend and the other... well I lost it... :(  I'll describe it in hopes that it may at some point be returned to me, otherwise I feel like I wasted about 6 hours of my life that I could have been using for my paper.

The scarf had a main colour of light grey with colours that transistioned from orange to yellow to green to blue to pink.  Although the picture below does not give it much justice, that's the type of yarn it was made out of:

Also I would like to note that the scarf wasn't very long compared to an average scarf and it didn't have any tassels on the ends or anything of that sort...  Well hopefully someone finds it and returns it to me.

Anyway I thought I would share with you some documentation of two scarves I am working on right now.

I'm also working on a scarf for my mom.  I'm trying to finish it as soon as possible.  I actually started it last year, but never had a chance to work on it.  I finally got a lot finished while sitting on the train a few weekends back.

Green and Purple Combined Knitted Scarf

I still have a lot to do, but I'm so much closer to being finished. Here is a close up of what it looks like:

To create the pattern of the scarf I use two different coloured balls of yarn.

I have some more things that I am working on or have finished that I will put up here on a later date, but for now it's getting late and I really should write some more of my paper.  I had a miniature break through last night and actually began the introduction.  The intro is always the hardest part for me.  Once I set up what I wanna say everything else usually falls in place pretty quickly.  Well wish me luck!
