and I totally blame the booty!  It kept me back.  If I were only in the best shape of my life (like when I was 19) then I surely would have succeeded.  My fingers ached and I thing my butt actually spread another few inches.  I did get this far though which is nothing to laugh at.  Internet knitters meet Lady Eleanor...........about 85% of her anyway.

This represents 8 balls of Noro Silk Garden and I have no idea what the number is as I am at work but if you wanna know let me know and I will pass it on.  This is a fairly simple pattern but in the haste of my project I have found a few dropped stitches which has left a hole that I will have to fix.  If you look close at the picture you will find one of them.  I would like to shrink it a little as well.  Anyone have any tips for that?  Maybe I will have to ask the NORO QUEEN.   I am going to try and finish the 9th ball this evening and possibly start the fringe.  It will be nice to get it all done and blocked. 

Since I have been a wanna be olympian and have not been posting I would like to share my scarf exchange scarf with everyone now.  Cynthia was my pal and she was very sneaky about it as well.  I met her for coffee and there was my scarf.  Ladies and gentleman, feast your eyes upon this......

When I showed this to Pete he said "wow that is really fancy".  It takes a lot for robot man to be impressed and Cythia did it.  What a pro!  It is gorgeous and super super soft.  I love my mittens as well and have worn my new accessories around quite a bit.  She also gave me kitty stationary, lip stuff (which I love) and some yummy peach tea. 

I am off to do some accounting and will post again when the lady is at another level of completion.

Happy Knitting and remember to stretch all of you olympians.
