How slow can you go?
I may be the world's slowest scarf knitter, at least with US7 needles. I've just finished the 4th ball of yarn with 2 more to go on this reversible cable scarf. One pattern repeat every day until December 17th (when we ship off gifts to Germany) is all I can handle, as the repetitiveness is a little... boring!
Pattern: Garter stitch
Yarn: Adrienne Vittadini Natalie in Jewel
Needles: US15 (10mm)
Finished Size: Pre-blocking, 8" x 72"
I figured out why big needles are so useful... Because they knit up things quickly, duh! My swatch with the red Natalie yarn kept on gettting longer and longer, and 3 hours later I had a scarf. Elizabeth, I hope you don't mind! This yarn was to be used for a Latifa scarf, but it would've been hellish to work for ruffles...
Natalie is a ladder yarn that's been folded over to create a loopy (and snaggy) texture. It was fun to knit with, and the resulting scarf is light, airy, and full of texture. This will go to BF's mom.
What pretty scarf colors! And what a lucky Momma of BF to get that great prezzie!
Gorgeous cables - it's so looong! Natalie looks to be an interesting yarn. I should imagine your gift packages are eagerly awaited in Germany.
Gorgerous scarves ! I am interest to knit the reversible cable scarf too. Great work !
MJ~your scarf is so lovely! This color is so rich and luxorious... yum! Love the cable work too!
You mentioned on my blog about the dyeing--have you done it before? It is really fun to do! :)
Take care!
great scarves and the colors. that reversible cable is gorgeous!
What pretty scarves! The cabled one looks so looooong, no wonder you're getting bored!
