As I mentioned last time, I am addicted to knitting. Knitters are shameless showoffs and always want to share their finished work. It’s such an accomplishment when a project is actually finished! So here is another scarf.
I had a ton of leftover Misti Alpaca yarn that I had purchased to make a blanket with a few years ago. The blanket didn’t work out and I had random little balls of yarn in various colors. This is what I used to make the scarf below!
The finished piece is a little short but it was measured before blocking - 5.5 inches wide by 49.5 inches long.
Materials: Misti Alpaca Chunky – various colors and US 9 knitting needles
Cast on 33 stitches
Used the “Mr. Ziggs” cable pattern from Vogue Stitchionary Volume 2: Cables

I like it. It's a little like a hipper version of Doctor Who's scarf from the Tom Baker era. Yes, I'm a nerd. No, I don't knit.
ReplyDeleteNerd. glad you specified that you don't knit, that comment could have sparked a shower of knitting questions for you.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to say that I sew, though. I work almost exclusively with polar fleece and pack cloth. I make things that are useful for camping or biking, but not as pretty as knitted stuff. My brother knits, and is quite good at it, but he's living in Palau, a place where knitted things are probably of little use.
