Playing Catch-Up

I've been working on Clapotis whenever I get a chance over the last few days, mostly on the bus and at lunch, when I have large blocks of uninterupted time. It's coming along and I just joined my second ball of yarn! I wish I were a faster knitter sometimes, then I might be able to actually finish a project at some point. But I'm rededicating myself to finishing this because I'm determined to get some wear out of it before winter is over, which acording to Mr. Groundhog yesterday, should be another 6 weeks, yikes! Plus, I'll need these needles to do the scoop neck sweater I'm planning for the Knitting Olympics! So that gives me until Feb. 10th! Gah! That seems close. These photos were taken with my camera phone, so I appologize for their overall crappiness (I really did try to fix them...).

Isn't this just the coolest pattern? It's so simple and yet so complex. My needles are driving me insane. They will not un-curl themselves. I've already tried the hot water thing, and I thought if I just kept knitting with them, at some point they would eventually straighten out, but it's not happening. I think they're curling more, of late, if that's even possible. The yarn is a dream to knit with tthough. So soft and squishy! I can tell I'm going to love this scarf.

Since progress shots of my Clappotis aren't all that interesting (espcially since it hasn't grown much since the last shots), I'm going to do a "meme" here. This one's been going around for a while, and a few people said to do it if you want, rather than passing it on specifically.
