It's that time of the week: Pattern Friday! Last week's pattern was the Cabled Mini Scarf by
tinkerknits on Ravelry. I have to say, it turned out beautifully! I didn't get the chance to take a better picture, but here is what it looks like artfully selfied on Instagram:
Mine ended up a lot shorter than the pattern instructed, but it fits perfectly! I used some triangular buttons that I picked up from my LYS. The Malabrigo Chunky yarn that I used is so soft and cushy, I really just can't wait until it's cold so I can wear it! (Well I can wait, summer can stay for awhile if it wishes :)).
For this week's pattern, I've decided to continue a scarf I've already started. It was mentioned last week in the footnotes of a post, but I'm going to finish the Fisherman's Rib Stretchy Infinity Scarf, which can be found on
Cynthia Gilbertson's Ravelry page. So far, I've only been able to complete about a half of a foot because of time, but I will finish it for next week. Here is a picture of what the stitch looks like:
This pattern uses the technique of knitting in the stitch under to make the scarf squishy and warm. When I started the pattern, I used needles a size smaller than directed and also cast on 2 more stitches. If you do knit this, don't be too worried about the stitches looking loose! They even out as you continue. Happy Knitting!
Announcement: I added FOUR new items to my Etsy shop yesterday, including those beaded knitting needles. Feel free to check them out
