Knitted scarf<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Just to be clear I do not consider myself to be a knitter. I know how to knit, as long as someone can help me. I have knit a hat, a vest, a sweater and am now working on a scarf, but I do not knit often or well. I do not have a knit stash.<\/p>\n

I started a knitting project last year and it has been sitting in a drawer. A confluence of things came together to get me to pull it out.<\/p>\n

First, I have been listening to the CastOn<\/a> podcast lately, which I spoke about in a previous post<\/a>. Second, all of my quilt projects which require hand work are in transition.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Kissy Fish<\/a> needs more machine quilting and then I have to prepare the facing before I can hand sew it. I am happy with the beading I have done on it.<\/li>\n
  2. Beach Town<\/a> is essentially done in terms of beading and hand embroidery. I steamed the living daylights out of it last weekend and now need to trim it and prepare the facing.<\/li>\n
  3. Moon and Stars is a project I started a looooong time ago and don’t believe I have ever discussed here. I have to get it out and photo graph it and see what it really wants and needs.<\/li>\n
  4. Flowering Snowball\/Cross Blocks<\/a> is embarrassing. OK, the project itself is not embarrassing. I am embarrassed to tell you what my problem is with it.<\/li>\n
  5. Laura Wasilowski Garden piece need some petals. I think it is too spiky for me. She recently commented on my blog and got me to look at that piece again. I am going to put it up on my design wall and see what I see. Any comments you have would be appreciated.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    As a result of all of the above, I had no handwork to bring over to my SIL’s house on Saturday for dinner and hanging out. Since I am physically incapable of just sitting and watching TV, I dragged out the knitting. My SIL got me back in the groove and I was off and running. I was really pleased with how much I got done.<\/p>\n

    Knitted scarf - detail<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    Sorry the above photo is dark. I was trying to get the detail for you. I am doing the same stitch over and over. I don’t remember if it is knit or purl. I just know how to do it. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

    Part of the reason I got this project out was hearing about Orphan.org on CastOn. They collect various things for care packages<\/a> for foster kids who are at college. I have wanted to do something fiber related for charity and this might be the thing. I’ll see how this scarf goes and then decide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
