Projects, projects, projects

How crazy can you get? Earlier this week, I booked my flight to Korea and China, my big vacation of the year. Of course, I'll be visiting my relatives in Busan/Changweon for the big Korean holiday 'Chuseok' (also known as the Mid-Autumn festival). I'm really excited as it will be my first time celebrating the holiday the Korean way and in Korea! But of course, my relatives have not been exposed to my knitting obsession yet.... What does that mean? Scarves for everyone! Okay, okay... Scarves are not the most complex thing, but it is the best option if you have no idea about sizes and such.... So, I've put the three projects I've already started (a pair of gloves, a baby blanket and a pillow case--I'll probably take these along with me to knit on the plane, in the train, et cetera et cetera) on the side to start knitting scarves, scarves, scarves.... So far, I've started three scarves....

One is a minty, lacy mohair scarf....

Then another lacy mohair scarf of various shades of gray....

And one of my own design... Parallelo- grams of various shades of reddish, my attempt at practicing intarsia....



I'm open for interesting scarf ideas for men. Not quite sure what to do and would rather avoid just plain garter stitch... But I may have to resort to that... We'll see....

These are beautiful--ethereal looking. Can't wait to see them finished.
