charity scaves finished, on to other projects, first sweater class, candle

Got the second of two scarves mailed off to Food and Friends. On to working more intently on my friend's basketweave scarf. that will keep me occupied knitwise until February 22nd. I need to get get on with his scarf, I have done 65 rows out of roughly 425 rows to eventually equal, if my math is right, roughly 5 feet (or roughly 60 inches) in length.

Then, I will start a 4- part class called "My First Sweater" at Knit + Stitch, a Bethesda, Maryland yarn store where I go to get my knitting errors undone as well as buy yarn and patterns.

This class will involve knitting a baby sweater with buttons following a pattern provided by the teacher. I will bring my needles or use the store's needles and use the store's yarn.

I had a dream about making a candle out of left over chunks of wax.

That goes to make a solid embedded candle. Put a candle into a larger mold, packing it around with wax chunks and pouring melted wax through it all to make a larger candle with chunks evenly embedded inside the outer edges.

So, I plan to make such a candle.
