For the first time in forever I've cast on a knitting project. I'm knitting a basketweave scarf with this self striping wool yarn from Baltic Knits. I've never used self striping yarn before, and I'm excited to see how it turns out. I've done the first 6 rows, or 1 pattern repeat. It's very easy and will keep me busy while watching TV or on car journeys.

Found 6 balls (not balls) of taupe acrylic #yarn that I bought years ago. It was cheap 😃

Having rediscovered it, I am now #crocheting a #blanket or wrap or #shawl (a layer, I don't know) using the #basketweave stitch. I like that it looks complicated to make, and that it makes a thick fabric to hopefully keep the warmth in a bit.
