Woe to stockinette stitch!

Well folks, back so soon.

Knit news:


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.

Yep, it's that time of the year again. So far, i'm maybe 2/3 done with a scarf for the boyfriend's mum for christmas. I'd like to also knit a scarf for his sister. I really just want to re-make Cotton Candy, but somehow i feel like that's cheating, since i already made that pattern before for previous boyfriend's sister. :/ So, i dunno. Maybe i'll make her a purse or something. Or a scarf with a different pattern. That's pretty much the update. Pictures ... sometime eventually. I wish i had the cash to buy the yarn for a sweater.

My goodness, it's been a while. And apparently I say "my goodness" now. Well, I've got a lot of projects I've worked on, a lot of "Pins" to evaluate for the sake of the internet. Keep watching this space! The first and true Yarnarchist is still around, accept no substitutes.
