Winter Knitting 08/09 – Part 2: Herringbone Scarf Done!

I finally finished that scarf!! (And yes, I know it's not winter anymore).  I actually finished sometime in March, but didn't have time to write up a post about it.  I had just enough yarn left afterwards to knit a matching hat.  However, the hat's just the tiniest bit shorter than I think it really should be for a normal-sized adult head.  And it's only single-layered, so I have doubts about it's warmth-keeping properties.  I'm thinking I'll get some matching charcoal fleece and make a lining for it (as well as make it just a bit longer for better ear coverage ^o^)

But pictures!!

So yeah, the hat may or may not reappear again with fleece lining ^.^ I'm pretty pleased with how this turned out, considering both the scarf and the hat were done without a pattern (the hat was very much improvised :-P)

I can haz tofu!!

One of my friends has spent the last year or so in Japan, and he came back to visit this weekend ^o^ Not only was it awesome to see him again, but he also gave me the cutest Hannari Tofu cellphone/keychain charm!! ^.^






Yay Ume Plum Blossom Tofu!!! <3<3
