Well folks, back so soon.
I knit a scarf over Thanksgiving break. It was beeauuutttiful.
Keyword: Was.
I used Wool-Ease Thick N' Quick on size 13 needles, and the 5 foot scarf took about 4 days to complete. Not too bad, actually. I used their green and orange in a vertical stripe pattern, 6 st green, 6 st orange, 6 stitches green. A nice quick pattern if you're looking to get aquainted with bobbin (color) knitting.
My folly?
I made it in stockinette stitch, the entire thing. The whole thing curled in. Terribly. it looked more like one of those things you shove under a door to prevent drafts than a frikkin' scarf.
So i'm going to knit it again. This time using a stitch that won't curl.
onward and upward, folks.
