Occasionally I knit.
I learned in Austria when I lived there and have made a sweater, a vest and a scarf that I can remember. Now I just knit scarves, though I am tempted to knit a skull cowl for the YM.
I haven’t for awhile, but when I saw the colors of this yarn, it drew me in and the softness sealed the deal.
It ended up that the different widths of the yarn were really a pain, but I am pleased with how the scarf turned out. Knitting and listening to audiobooks is a great activity for airplane trips and you all know I had enough of those in the past few months.
Once I got the hang of knitting again, I went to town and was able to finish this scarf in a few months. I found that I liked purling better than knitting, which my SILs think is a scream, so the scarf I am working on now is all purling. I think I will do the next one with 4 purls on the edges and knits in between.
I might enter this scarf in the Fair. I made it for me, so it will be around the house. I may, however, make another that is better. We’ll see.
Hi Kati,
Thanks for your comment! I like working the needles in the front of the piece. Knitting requires one needle to behind the piece. Purling is worked in front. I also like the fact that the piece’s edges don’t curl when using the purl stitch. My SILs think I am weird.
