Finished the knitting of my sister-in-law's Booga Bag. (I still have to felt it, though).
Finished the scarf for my friend D. I'm happy with how it turned out, but I don't think I'll ever knit with Color Waves again. It's just not a happy yarn to knit with.

Began a silly little hat out of some weird novelty yarn I found at the Jo-Ann's: Patons "Pebbles." Yes, it is what it sounds like - it has bits of slightly shiny fiber in it that do, uncannily, look like pebbles. Normally I say I hate novelty yarns but I think it's their unnatural colors more than anything - I was rather charmed by the dark brown base-yarn/pale-tan "pebble" combination in the color called "Moonstone." For the hat, I cast 56 stitches on (originally on size 11 dpns, but I switched to a 24" size 10.5 circular when I realized it would fit better on there (the stitches are a bit stretched laterally but they spring back). I'm using a 2x2 rib (which doesn't really show up but which is necessary to make the hat snug enough). It may only take one skein of the stuff, I don't know yet. I'm not very far along. It IS considerably easier to knit on the metal needle than it was on the wood dpns.

I also have, in similar colors, some of another Paton's novelty, called Mosaic - it's a very soft dark-brown yarn with little "flags" or "tufts" of green, brown, and tan on it. The tufts look chenille-y. I'm going to use it for (say it with me) another Multidirectional Diagonal Scarf.

(Oddly, I cannot find either yarn on the Paton's site OR the Joann's site. Perhaps they've not updated recently? Perhaps the yarns are some kind of weird test-marketing thing that I just happened to luck into. They are sort of strange yarns, they make me think of what hobbits would knit with, if hobbits had access to acrylic yarn...)
