Still knitting

I haven't felt like I've had much to post lately, because I keep redoing the end of a little scarf over and over. It's mistake stitch rib, in a variegated synthetic chenille with a nice feel but no structure. I want the ends to flair slightly and look decorative but so far nothing is quite right. Perhaps crocheted scallops?

Ballband Discloth

This was a housewarming present for someone who lives near fields and water.
I crocheted around the edge. The pattern tends to contract, so additional repeats would have been required to make it truly square.

This pattern could also be enlarged to make place mats.

Mobile post test and knitting update

The sleeves on the sweater will need to be reworked to taper at the
wrist--the ribbing is too loose and flares. I've started a ballband
dishcloth.

Even more top down raglan progress

Here it is, all but the sleeves. I made the "wrong" side the outside and added ribbing at the neck.

Top Down Progress

The progress so far, with detail of raglan shaping:

 

New Project

I'm using the Bernat soft blue "Soft boucle" acrylic I got in trade for some of my wool to make a top-down raglan/sweatshirt equivalent, using this pattern:
Comfy Raglan from The Knitteur.com
So far it's going well. I'm about half way down the yoke. I'm mulling the idea of using a contrasting color--maybe gray--somewhere to give it a little more structure.

I removed the slide show of yarns from the right corner. The wool is gone. Cottons, rayons, etc.are still coming my way. I've started an experimental rather narrow One-Row Scarf using the single ball of softly variegated chenille. Not sure if it's enough yarn yet but I like the effect, although the yarn puts a little too much friction on my irritated left little finger for extended knitting. Not sure if I need a bandage or if I should try knitting in my lifting gloves. Maybe a tiny finger puppet?
