Lest I create the impression that I have completely given up knitting and gone over to the spinning time, it seemed like the right time to finish up the almost ubitquitous ruffled scarf from Scarf Style
This scarf was knit in Lorna's Laces Lion and Lamb in Pewter, which I selected for the metallic shimmer and extra warmth provided by the silk. I used two skeins and got a scarf with a pretty reasonable length for a person of my height (5' 6"). I didn't do anything to deviate from the original pattern (except for the yarn substitution). Overall I liked the pattern, but it got pretty boring for me after a while. It was hard to turn it into TV knitting because I used the "knitting backward" technique in order to avoid having to turn it back and forth constantly for all the short rows.
Ah, the first true scarf of fall. Sweater season can't be far off now!
Beautiful Ruffles, my favourite colour! And yes, I thought you'd gone over to the spinning tribe. As a non-spinner I am happy to see some knitting on here :)
Pretty! I like that scarf a lot better in the color you choose than the one in the book. (It looks a bit like a jellyfish, I think).
Very pretty and I think the color is great.
Lovely!
tres chic!
I think this is a great scarf - especially the length that you got! I did one in Koigu, and like you, it did seem to take quite a while to finish!
I'll bet someone tries to buy that off of your neck.
