Below is a Christmas present I'm working on. It is the first time I have knit cables and Ruth, they ARE fun! Who knew!?!?! It's turning out great I think and although right now it seems like it could be more of a rug than a scarf, it is soft and pliable but is stiff on the sticks. I am using Lion Brand Wool-Ease, a Super Bulky I got at Wal-Mart and it is so nice. I bought 3 skeins so that is how big the scarf will be! LOL! I'm using size 10/6mm needles for it. It is the Irish Hiking Scarf pattern free on Ravelry. I'll be making a matching hat too.
That's all for this week so far. I have to go visit and see what you all have been up to! Be sure and click on the WIP button on the right side of my blog to see what everyone else is making. TTYL!
Your scarf looks nice and cozy! Love the color :)
ReplyDeleteI love cables! Especially with a nice squishy yarn. So much fun to knit!
ReplyDeleteYour cable work looks lovely, I look forward to seeing the scarf and the cap completed. Someone will be very lucky indeed :)

I was a bit scared of cables until I knitted a couple of cabled cowls last year. Then I realised I really enjoyed doing them and the effect is so worth it. Your scarf looks so neat and lovely n cosy! Your bunting is very pretty. Spencer says hi! X
ReplyDeleteCable work....that would be a next stop for me. It looks great by the way.
