Didn't have the energy to swatch last night.
Didn't particularly have the energy to track down all the balls of the CE Mohair, and then when I did track one down, realized they would have to be rolled into balls before I could knit from them.
Didn't have the energy to count out the balls of Imagine and figure out how many of two different dyelots I had, and try to decide whether to hold together two strands of different dyelots, or to hope I would have enough of a single dyelot.

So I dug out some cream-colored Wool-ease and started the scarf pattern for the "dream scarf". This was a stitch I dreamed about doing last fall. I wrote it down, just so I'd remember it, but like so many of the projects I think of, I get excited about it and want to start until I realize how much stuff I already have going on. So it gets put in the pile or the queue or whatever until later.

Here's what I did:
Cast on 42 sts with size 9 (US) needles (I like wide scarves)

The stitch pattern is this:

two rows garter stitch
knit one row
purl one row
knit one *knit 3, yo, slip 1, k2tog, psso, yo* and end with k5 (probably I should have cast on 41 stitches but oh well).
purl one row
knit one row

then repeat.

What happens is, the pattern alternates being "right side" and "wrong side" which is a little different. I like how it's working up. It's not *beautiful* but it interests me that it's something my subconscious mind came up with.

I knit a couple repeats of that last night, while watching part of "Office Space" on the Comedy Channel. (and again, I have to say, how thankful I am to work in academia and not in the corporate world. The movie IS an exaggeration, but according to my brother, who is a corporate-world-escapee, it's not that big of an exaggeration...)
