Not too long ago I spent some time on Ravelry getting my projects up-to-date with my blog. It reminded me of a few projects that have been languishing, so I decided that maybe I should figure out how to get some of these projects on the road to completion.
One of these projects is the Kushu Kushu scarf kit put together by Habu Textiles. I think I started this project well before Ms. Z showed up on the scene. Why isn't it finished? Well, I don't much enjoy knitting with the single strand of silk/stainless steel yarn -- it's probably about the same weight as 10/2 perle cotton (maybe finer) and I have to pay a lot of attention to it when I knit with it. So I think I just got bored and stashed it away for later.
With fall approaching, it seemed like it might be fun to have a new scarf -- especially one that has some interesting sculptural effects (the stainless steel yarn may not be fun to knit with, but it makes for a very interesting structure that can hold its shape). So while Ms. Z gets her bath, I'm trying to knit a few rows here and there on it. Maybe this year will be the year it gets crossed off the list!

I'd be tempted to wear it stretched out to the side like I was in a perpetual wind storm...or at least rushing to somewhere very important!
I have been really tempted by this pattern for a while. I'm sure I'd get horribly bored of the knitting, but it would be worth it for a fun scarf to wear when I'm tired of wearing all of the sturdier winter ones.
I'm at the same spot with my pseudo-Kushu. I'm carrying along a strand of merino (a hair of merino?) and it is tedious at best.
I've always admired the Kusha Kusha scarf. Maybe someday it will make my projects.
I did the kushu-kushu, and I made it a gift because it turned out I like the idea of it more than I liked the actual product. I think having the deadline made it easier to get through the last couple feet. Felting it was fun though.
I've got lots of that stainless/silk left over. What shall I do with it?
