more gloomy weather..

well, we had one day of 50 degree weather.. now, we're supposed to get even MORE snow and sleet tomorrow and saturday.. hooray! but, the good news is, i'll get to finish a bunch of projects this weekend! Here's what's on the list for the weekend:

1. Square for Friendship Square Exchange

2. Handmade Gift for Color Swap (haven't decided weather I want to tackle a scarf, or make a coffee cup cozy!)

3. Watercolor Bookmark for Bookmark Swap - although this swap is on ravelry, it said the bookmarks could be any craft, so this time I'm making one out of cardstock and watercolor paper, painted with water colors and a good book quote! Possibly I'll make two, since they're not that time consuming!

4. Finish last three pieces for Bella Baseball Scarf

Last night, I visited my friend in Raleigh, NC, and we decided to dye a skein of yarn with Kool-Aid! It came out pretty, but a lot more subdued than we hoped. So, now that I'm back at home, I'm going to attack it with some bright red Kool-Aid over the slightly varigated peach, light purple, yellow, and white that it is now!

I also visited Great Yarns, a LYS in Raleigh, and picked up a veryyy pretty skein of Malabrigo in the colorway Plena! I only bought one skein, so I'm trying to find a nice pattern for it for a scarf. It's so pretty I want to make sure my pattern suits it!!

Well, I'm off to finish dying my yarn, and then to knit away for the weekend! I'll post pictures when the yarn is done, and when I'm done with the other items!
