I thank this scarf for finally getting my knitting mojo back. All it took was a trip to a few local yarn stores, fondling some skeins of yarn, and I was wondering why I wasn’t inspired to knit for the past five months. Add in a simple lace scarf pattern that only requires two balls of yarn and knits up on size 9 needles, and I had a cure to my knitting blues! This pattern is knitting up super quick, and I anticipate finishing it in the next week or so.
It’s amazing how a simple pattern can produce such amazing results. Like this cable, for example. Just a basic cable pattern, but it looks beautiful as a scarf. You can find the free pattern here. I’ve got quite a bit to go, but I thought I’d share a peek at my progress thus far.
Ok, so I started this for the Ravelympics competition last month during the summer Olympics, and sadly I did not finish it in time. But! This definitely was the fastest I’ve knitted a scarf on needles smaller than US 17.
I finished this about a week ago (Labor Day maybe?) and I can’t wait to wear it with my tweed coat. But let’s not rush the cool weather, shall we?
