Lots of knitting

Last weekend and this have both been 3 day weekends and I've used that time for knitting.  We're in the middle of the Ravelry Ravellenic Games which run concurrently with the Olympics.   I'm knitting along and have finished two projects.  

First was my scarf from Renee Van Horn's Poppy Neckerchief pattern. 

I couldn't see the variation in the yarn color while I was knitting.  This is yarn that had been given to me and I didn't realize it was from different dye lots.  It's quite noticeable in this photo.   I've decided to try dyeing it and am reading up on techniques, most from the blog Dye Your Yarn by a family I know from Ravelry. 

Second was a scarf I started in January and had worked just a few rows each evening.   I used my Sweetheart Pin Loom from Hazel Rose Looms to make the embellishment hearts.

Now it's time to turn my attention back to the pillow cover I'm making for Sis.   I have a mistake about 2 inches back that I need to fix, sigh.   Hopefully it will be smooth sailing after that.
