Hesira,
Take care of yourself until you're feeling better!
First grade is a big step. The first day of Kindergarten was always the hardest for me. I made sure I was smiling as my kids left my side but it didn't last long after they were out of sight :)
I have a question about the Branching Out scarf. I was thinking of doing one in a leftover laceweight merino. Would I still want to use the size 8 needles with that yarn?

Hi BB,
I think Branching Out would look good with the lace weight merino. If you go to Knitty.com and look it up in the archives, they show 2 versions, one with the mohair/silk and another with Elsebeth Lavold Silky Wool. The Silky Wool has a gauge of 5.5 on #6's. Using the larger needles gives the fabric an open lacy quality.
Kindergarten was difficult for me, but something about 1st grade seems so big! One good thing is he's going to the same school as he did last year, so it doesn't seem such a drastic change.
I'm taking it easy. I go for treatment on this Friday. I know it will take a while for it to work, but I'm ready to get better.

I made this scarf a few months ago as a gift. It was a fine weight wool, probably laceweight and it looked great. It went over well with the recipient too. Just don't ask me what I used for needles, probably something close to what was recommended. I don't think a size up or down would matter much, and it depends if you are a loose or tight knitter. ;>)

On another board, a few people posted that they made a shawl with this pattern by doubling or tripling the width and they look very nice.

Joan, I agree with you. I have found that by changing my method to "digest", it is easier, but still not as easy as RCTY.

LOL Well, I have been gone for three weeks. I can promise more posts for a while. And Els has company, so she is likely too busy to check in.
