On the knitting front, not too much was accomplished. Here is my first "On/Off the Needles" post. It has taken me way too long to finish this scarf because I dropped a few stitches and had to have a friend fix it, which meant unraveling it back to almost 4 inches to finally get it fixed.
It was made for a friend who was moving away and she also loves purple. Now I'm getting ready to start another one for a Christmas present and I'm trying a circular needle for this one. I understand that it is way easier than on long, straight, slippery needles. I sure hope so, because there is not much time left to get a few more done for gifts.
Better get going. Lots to do before the day is over. I'm linking up with Judy, so drop by and see other knitting projects.
Those scarfs are sew cute! I haven't a clue how to knit or crochet. I'll stick with quilting.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful scarf Dar!!! It was worth the effort ;-) Hope you had a great Thanksgiving with your family!
ReplyDeleteI've seen these lovely scarves before, your gift recipients will be thrilled.
ReplyDeleteThat is really pretty. Glad you were able to fix it!
ReplyDeleteI like those scarves. Maybe next year.....if I start early.......
ReplyDeleteRuffled scarves are fun, aren't they? I like the color of yours. Have you seen the fabric "yarn" by Circulo? That is really fun to knit with.
ReplyDeleteLove the scarf - I need to try to knit one. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteDar, I love that yarn, where did you get it?? They make lovely gifts, don't they?!

I am now trying to do a scarf like this. Also had trouble with stitches slipping off the needles!
ReplyDeleteA solution for me was switching to plastic circular needles, or bamboo ones. They don't slide as much as the metal ones.
