And here's the short story version... Three contests in one, I invited everyone to guess how much knitting on the three projects I would get done while my daughter and granddaughter were visiting. The results? I finished the hat, the mittens and the scarf were partially/far from finished.
Today, I finished the scarf and ripped out the mittens. (One of those mixed days...)
The scarf is super.
Pattern: Hönkä by Eeva Saviranta from Ulla 1/07; Yarn: Wool 8/2 Effektgarn by Kauni, Sport / 5 ply, 100% Wool, 656 yards
The mittens... I knitted a bit on them last night, did a row of cupcakes and when I had to look for more bits of yarn, stolen from other projects I realized that the pile of yarn I "inherited" from Norway would be perfect for them. I also have been having pangs of guilt about using yarn I specifically bought for a cardigan.
Today I felt justified frogging the whole thing, and will start with a thinner weight of yarn which will be pleasing to the touch and eye.

The colors in that scarf are really fascinating! One day in the (maybe not so) distant future I will make something similar.
