LSG Traveling Scarves

This February is the one year anniversary of Lazy, Stupid and Godless group on ravelry.com. Don't let the group name fool you! Sure, some of us are lazy (I'd include myself in that category ;) and there might be a few who are stupid (not likely) and of course there are some who are Godless (not me). Why the odd name? Because we are also a group of ravelry members who love to be grownups. We cuss, and tease each other with epitaphs like 'twatweasle', support each other when we need a shoulder to lean on or an ear to bitch in.
From the group overview page:

This group heartily gives thanks to those who asked‘Is Swearing Allowed on
Ravelry?’ In this group you are allowed to talk about any kind of ‘bad’ behavior
you want, as long as you are usually funny.

Treat this group like a long weekend in Vegas, complete with hookers,
craps, and whole bottles of tequila. In other words, what happens in lsg, stays
in lsg.

To celebrate the one year of awesomeness that is lsg, some of us have decided to make traveling scarves. How it works, is that each person starts a scarf then mails it on to the next person, until each person in the group has knitted a 5 inch section (each group has less than 10 members- I think) and it gets back to whomever started the scarf. So not only will I have a finished scarf (actually two, I am knitting on a handspun group and a 'normal/scents ok' group) but it will have been knitted on by a bunch of awesome people :0 I'll have two completely original scarves to keep me warm next fall and winter ..
Here are my two sections I started:

malabrigo worsted Merino yarn in "Peach Tree"

knit on size 7us, cast on 37

Scrunchable Scarf pattern

handspun Merino, "Verdant"

knit on size 9us, cast on 36

Morning Surf scarf pattern

ADORABLE!

I signed up for an ornament swap. But not just any swap! It's LSG! and Tacky! Go me!

Though i decided to make a 'tacky' ornament instead of buying anything (cheaper for me). I decided to knit something, as I figured it's an ornament so it can't take too long to do.

And I found it.
It's simple, basic, and so fracking adorable!

I've made two as trial ornaments, using up some handspun that was a navajo ply of leftover singles on a bobbin. BFL in Melon (from Miss Babs)





Since my handspun was not worsted weight, I cast on 20 instead of 16. For the very long hat, I simply decreased until I had just 3 stitches, then knit i-cord until I had used up almost all of the handspun. I love these. :)

Yarn P0rn

Man, has it been a long time since I shared good yarn! Here is some handspun yarns (spun by me, you can see specs on my ravelry handspun stash page).

And some purchased and traded yarn p0rn
First, sme lovely, soft handspun, handdyed yarn in "Beet" from Foxyie:

Handdyed sock yarn from Miss Babs in "Watermelon" with a little heel/toe skein to match:
