2.5 squares done, and a new project.

I finished the 2nd square to my 2009 afghan project. It is looking pretty bland so with these next squares I will be adding in more colors. I have also decided that I really need to literally branch out with my knitting and crochet. I have always done washcloths, granny squares, and other short, sweet, SQUARE projects. So, I have been eye-ing the Branching Out lace scarf from the Spring 2005 Knitty. I am working it in Caron Simply Soft Eco in the colorway "Ocean Mist". It was turning out oh so pretty yet everytime I start this project (I've started it three times already) I mess up on row 5 of the pattern. I'm going to try once more and see how it goes. I'll be back later with pictures hopefully.
