I made some good progress over the snowy weekend. Then I managed to drop one of my needles Sunday night. When I went back to look for it, I found it with my foot and the crack it made underneath. I thought I could tape the needle together, but it felt wobbly. Then I tried using super glue, but that made things worse and it cracked even more. I contacted my friend who owns the yarn store to see if she could bring home a new set and I'd pay her back. In the midst of the chaotic weather situation, it slipped her mind, but she loaned me a circular set in the meantime. It's interesting to use. I don't mind borrowing it, but I don't know that I'm ready to purchase such a set for myself yet. My friend thinks I'll be spoiled by this set, but I still have a longing for the ones I've been using up till this point. My knitting has gotten a little sloppy with the circular set. I totally appreciate that she loaned it to me so I could continue on this scarf, but I'm glad it's just a loan for now. And call me crazy, but I hiked to her house in the snow last night, just so I could get going on the scarf again while watching "American Idol." That's usually my main knitting time!
I'm sure my BFF will find this blog hilarious, but that's okay. I'm happy to have picked up a new skill this year and even happier that someone wanted me to teach them before knowing how inexperienced I am. I definitely gave her the Facebook link to my friend's store. I now want to share this Facebook link with my loyal readers and anyone else who comes across this, lives in Maryland and is interested in knitting: The Yarn Spot. Even if you don't live in Maryland, definitely check it out!

Good for you!! Your project is moving right along!!
I have a set of circular needles and I am not too crazy about them. They are nice to have when a specific pattern calls for them, but when I knit in the round I usually prefer double pointed needles instead.
