About Me
- Name: Justy
- Location: BC, Canada
I'm the proud Momma of "Son" who was born at home in Aug 2003.
I discovered eBooks back in 2005 when I got my iPaq 2490. Once I discovered I could have as many books as I wanted with me all the time without breaking my back I was hooked. The best thing is the development of eInk eBook Readers, specifically the Cybook and BeBook. Much nicer on my eyes, I don't think I'll ever go back to paper books again. In fact I still have a paperback to finish that I started in December 2007, just before I got my Cybook. I may have to find it in eBook format. :)

Just a simple little blog to talk about my knitting, my cats, my wonderful son, and perhaps other things in my life.

Tink'ing fun fur
... isn't fun at all. I was almost finished the 'shapely scarf' Saturday night. I had only 4" of scarf left to bind off when I ran out of yarn. I really should have known better but I did think I had enough. I had to undo the entire bind off row and the previous row, this took almost 3 hrs. Then I could finally start the bind off again which took 1/2 hr. At least I know that the chances of this yarn unravelling on it's own is very remote. This stuff likes to stick to itself and wrap around itself something fierce.
I finally completed the scarf late Sunday night, early Monday morning. I just have to weave in ends and get hubby to take a picture so I can share with you all. This scarf took 3 balls of Fun Fur in the colour Tropical. Based on where I ran out of yarn when binding off the first time I figure there was about 8/10th of a row worth of yarn left when I finished. The ends are only 3.5" wide instead of 4" but it seems fine to me.
