Here's the boring scarf I knit during the blackout. It is 8 stitches across, garter stitch, size 10 needles on some handspun yarn I bought on Ebay years ago. To dye the yarn I put the skein on plastic wrap, then dotted the yarn with various colors of Easter egg dye and zapped it. This technique is outlined in the Twisted Sisters Sock Book.
I'll finish the second Salsa sock tonight then I'm going to start another pair of top-down gauntlet mittens from Anna Zilboorg's Magnificent Mittens in Cascade 220. Stay tuned...
