Clearly there is no witty knitting post title today, but if you want to feel knitting witty and make friends with people you don't know, this scarf will do it for you.
Yarn: Katia Triana
Pattern: Triana Scarf
Needles: US 10
Ribbon lace yarns seem to be the new thing in novelty yarns. I am a little embarrassed to admit that there are times when I dig a dive into a big bucket of novelty. This is definitely one of them, because the results are just awesome, and I think a bit more timeless than the average fun fur scarf.
This scarf is dirt simple to make but no one around you will know unless you tell them. I made 4 of them during December -- and my schedule was not exactly filled with leisurely knitting time. This is a project where the novelty yarn does all the work for you, all you have to do pull loops through loops. The only thing challenging about making these scarves is getting a good visual for how it's done -- and Google and YouTube will be happy to provide assistance with that. It makes a great affordable last minute gift. I could probably have made 2 of these in a day if I was focused.
After knitting this up, I've been thinking what a blast this stuff would be to use to make frilly cuffs or a collar for the right sweater. Of course, by the time I get around to it, it will no longer seem fashionable any more.

My mother-in-law went crazy with these this year and they are wonderful. I was thinking the same thing - cuffs or a collar on a sweater. But, I'm at the same pace you are. :)
Are you thinking the same thing I am with a lush shawl collar? It would be wonderful!
I almost bought some of this yarn at my local yarn store the other day! You might have just talked me into it.
Very interesting, first time I've seen this scarf. After doing a bit of nosing around on Ravelry, I've added it to the queue and I think I'll pick up some of that yarn soon.
I really like this scarf! I do not 'right' in lacy clothes with floofy sleeves or anything else, but this fits the bill for a feminine touch without making me look strange! Gonna try it.
