My FOs! Let me show you them!
Nov. 25th, 2009 10:40 amI got the Doom Scarf finished on Saturday - which amazed me; I still had 10 chart/40 knitted rows to knit Saturday morning. (The deal with illusion knitting is that each row of the chart gets knitted 4 times.) I must have just gone on a huge knitting jag - I took Daughter and nieces skating but knitted instead of skating myself (rental skates do not like my feet), and I guess the J.J. Abrams Star Trek movie is good to knit by.
Pattern: Tux scarf by Heidi Antila - the link is in Finnish, and the English translation seems to be gone, but the important bit is the chart.
Needles: the 6's from my interchangeable kit.
Yarn: Plymouth Encore. Not sure if I like this better than Wool-Ease or not.
Learned: Persistence pays off. The project is a huge time suck, but the results are pretty dramatic.
Note that it's longer than the seating section of the couch - substantially longer than Hubby is tall. It's also nearly a foot wide. If I ever attempt this pattern again (and someone stop me if I consider it?), sock yarn might be a better choice.
( A few close-ups, plus bonus fish hat photos. )
I still have a couple pieces of thread crochet that need blocking and photographing; other than that I officially had no knitting or crochet WIPs when I cast on for my sister's Christmas present. I think that rates a "Go me!"
