Knitting Disaster and new Yarn

We are back from Las Vegas. I had a wonderful time and completed my scarf. I thought I needed to knit a cowl because the chin strap on my motorcycle helmet made my neck very sore. Well that was a disaster. I don't know what I did wrong. I am sure it was me because several people on Ravelry have used the pattern and had wonderful results. So I finished the cowl tonight and then unraveled the thing. So now I am searching for a cowl pattern that uses smaller needles. Pictures of my very sad knitting project.




I went to Nancy's Quilt in Las Vegas. Since we were on the motorcycle I did not have much room or much time. I picked Nancy's because she has yarn and fabric. I ended up with 4 skeins of Kogui. Such pretty colors. I purchased 3 patterns and some fat quarters. I just loved the shop. I only had a few minutes so next time I will go and spend some time browsing.

I have not had any progress on my Y2K quilt with vacation and all the things I have been doing around the house. Hopefully I will get back to that this weekend. Here are my items I purchased at Nancy's in Las Vegas.
