My Branching Out scarf is done!This scarf was fun to knit, though I never quite felt comfortable doing it without the chart at my side. It does use 5 different kinds of decrease, so by the end of it you know for sure how to slant to left or right, get rid of one stitch or two, or make a straight line in your double decrease.
And it's pretty.... The yarn is Lady Godiva, wool and silk. I think it's the colour "Forest" with a wee bit of "Mineral." I wish I'd done what I'd originally intended, years ago when I bought this yarn, and worked a whole piece with the two yarns together. Mmmm!
I think this brings to 19 the number of Mary-handknit scarves in the house!
I made it about 4 feet long, and saved a bit of the green wool for my green mish-mash pile. This will one day be some marvellous ... not sure what! Blanket, perhaps? I'll see what else I have to do in green season of Project Spectrum!
Your Branching Out is lovely! I found that blocking mine really opened it up, if that is what you are going for. It would be so very soft in Lady Godiva!
ReplyDeleteI love your branching out! I'll add it to my "nice to knit one day" mental list I keep. I also just added the Argosy scarf... now all I need to do is buy myself some new Kureyon. I'm still trying to decide what to do with my 3 skeins of manos that was supposed to be a scarf for Brian...
