Hooray! There is nothing better than getting yarn in the mail. I got the Noro auction a few days ago, and I got the Fiddlesticks scarf kits today. After a long day at work, it was a terrific surprise to see a pretty little parcel sitting in my mailbox.

I've already started in on the Round Trip sweater using the Noro Kureyon #51. Such beautiful transitions between the colours... pure seduction. I learned a new technique, too... the Invisible Cast-On. Good thing I checked the instructions before I started, as all of the cast ons are done invisibly. Being a newbie at this cast-on method, it took about 40 minutes of me cursing like a sailor to get it to work. But I did, and my tongue is still cooling off from the ferocious stream of profanity that came flying off of it a couple days ago.

I'm only 21 rows into the back, so after I get some more done on it tonight, it'll be worthy of a picture. Tilt is still coming along nicely, as is my tranny surprise. It's taking some actual written down scheduling to make time to knit, but I'm finding my time management skills are improving at an alarming rate.

Stay tuned... in the next day or two pictures will return to my blog!
