Knit, knit, no purl

I've spent the week end knitting and I'm pretty proud of the results. Tonight watching Tv I've finished the other half of the Brea Bag and on Sunday I've finally begun the first scarf for the Homeless in Vik's initiative.

To speed up the scarf making, before the weather becomes too hot to touch the wool, I've opted for a vertical striped scarf, all worked in Garter Stitch. The texture so far is very soft and funny. I'll post a pic tomorrow (the image here is from Google Images ;-).

Besides that, the pima poncho is slowly progressing as well and I intend to focus a lot on knitting this week. I must complete at least a scarf before the outside temperature turns to 35° C (announced for Wednesday!) otherwise I'll have to wait for the Fall season and give my scarves to the homeless in the northern hemisphere...
