Hello! Oh my WORD it has been snowing like crazy in Seattle. I can't believe how much snow we've gotten so far and how much school we've missed! We already had a long weekend because of MLK and then we got three days cancelled in a row! At this point I'm just not quite sure what to do with myself. I took up knitting yesterday and finished my first scarf this afternoon! I'm totally hooked. I don't see myself making anything other than scarves mostly because they're the easiest and most mindless things that I could possibly make. Here's a pic of the first one! It's about seven feet long and I can triple wrap it. I just need a tapestry needle now in order to finish the seam. I used a super thick and chunky yarn and a 10mm needle so it came out a little thicker than the template which is fine with me.
The pattern, if anyone is interested, is called the "mistake rib knit" and I took it from
this site. It's a K2 P2 stitch repeated until the last three stitches, which are K2 P1. Until noon yesterday, I had no clue what that meant. Let me know if you need some helpful videos to get started, or, just Google away!
Well the next step is getting more yarn, hopefully I can get out of my apartment within a few days! I think this will be my next challenge...I'll need a circular needle and a lot more knowledge about knitting, but who knows, maybe we'll have another huge snow week!
This is awesome! Thanks so much for posting this - I've been looking for a pattern similar to stockinette because it curls so bad. Can't wait to try this out!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! I would recommend to go a little wider depending on the thickness of your yarn because the parallel alignment of the stitches has a tendency to make it narrower than you would expect. Good luck :)
ReplyDeleteThis one just makes you looks more cute even lovely than before and I believe if you choose some Orange leather shoulder bag or the best quality Leather tassel bags to you, you will looks more cute than original!
