I made this .....
And a view from the side ....
It's my version of an infinity scarf / cowl (which I originally spoke about here after feeling inspired by Tasia)
I LOVE IT !! It is by no means perfect - but then neither am I :-) However, I could already see a difference in my knitting skill by the time I got to the end of the scarf. Tres excitmon !
Overall I am quite pleased with it as a first project, and pretty much cant wait to start something else. I have literally knitted non stop since Thursday to get it finished up.
I didn't use a pattern, I just casted on 46 stitches and kept on going (and going and going and going - you get the drift). I knitted one row of knit stitches and one of purl in a continuous cycle. It is lucky that knitting is fun ! I used exactly 4 x 50 g balls of wool/yarn. I am going to make a few versions of this type of scarf as I always wear scarves in winter and this particular type of scarf I love alot.
It is very satisfying to see the creation of a fabric right under my very fingertips !
Next project for me is the Jasmine for sure.(er - maybe after another scarf !) I have seen lots of pretty versions of Jasmine made up on blogland, and you can see it is a very flattering top. Feel quite frightened about working with silk though - have read quite a few horror stories !
What has everyone else been doing ?

Cute scarf! I love the yarn! It's so fun to see the way that you improve throughout the course of a project!
ReplyDeleteI love the Jasmine blouse, too, but I'm scared to work with bias-cut fabric! It really freaks me out!
Thanks ! I am really pleased with how it turned out :-) So easy to make too ! Yup, I feel the Jasmine pain, but it is too pretty to pass up ! Lets be brave and make them !! xx
ReplyDeleteI just taught myself to crochet and I've been doing it nonstop too! I can knit, but minimally. :) Practice makes progress!! Very cute cowl!
