Last year, during or after the Sisters trip, I started knitting a scarf. I had my usual ups and downs with the knitting, ripping out quite a bit, not knitting on it, etc.
Lately, when DH is out at a meeting on a Wednesday evening, I go to a knitting circle at a local shop in order to see people and have some human contact. I have been 3-4 times. I just sit there, knit and listen. This activity has helped to get this scarf finished. I still have to weave in the ends, but I am calling it done. This project is for me and I will wear it as a summer scarf, for those foggy days in August.
Very pretty! Your group sounds like a good idea. I never think to pick up my knitting anymore, so I don’t make any progress.
I consider knitting secondary or even tertiary to quiltmaking. I have a few opportunities (Craft Night, Knitting Night) to work on my knitting and take them. I try to stick to one project at a time and not to stash yarn, though there are some delectable yarns and I could easily fall down that rabbit hole.
That will be extra lovely in the fog.
Scarfs make for extra satisfying yarn work, fast and fun. I’m lucky my DD has moved to snow country so I finally have excuses for chunky yarns:)
What will you make next at knit club?
I am going to start a sweater, mostly because I have the yarn and I don’t want to stash yarn. I have some homework to do, though, and I haven’t done it yet.
The scarf is beautiful. Just the right colors for you.
Thanks! I hope it is not too holey to actually be useful.
