Knitting rabies
One of the side effects (perks? downsides?) of working at a knitting company is constant exposure to yarns, knitting patterns, and knitting techniques. As a consequence, if you are me, your head is constantly filled and brimming over with new and countless ideas for knitting projects.
Normally, I have a "knitting season" which begins in about October and continues until I get sick of winter or run out of ideas, generally in about February. This year, I've begun knitting in May.
The first thing I started making was this scarf, the pattern for which was created by an incredibly talented knitting designer I work with:
Don't judge it. It's not finished.
Then, I found some yarn on sale and quickly whipped up this scarf:
Next, I ripped apart an old hat that didn't quite work and started knitting this hat:
It also isn't finished.
Who knows where this will end? I envision endless knitting projects stretching into my future. If you're my friend, watch out. You just may be stuck with some knitted object my addiction has compelled me to create.

My Guess is that the mystery item at the top has been specially commissioned by Ikea for their 50th anniversary. It is for keeping your hands warm while using their funny little assembly tools if you should need to put together furniture outside in cold weather.

That first scarf is quite interesting. It looks like two scarves being merged into one - will the middle be thicker than the ends?
Susanna:
lol!
Liz, it's basically two colours being cabled together. So, it's sort of 2 scarves in one, and yes, the middle is sort of twisted on top of itself, so it will probably be a bit thicker than the ends. Good eye.
