Here is my scarf in progress. I may have posted this photo before but it shows the true colors of the yarn better than the photo's of the finished project.
A very long scarf. Had to lay it on the bed to get a picture.
Here is a closer look at the lace detail.
This one is for me. I do most of my knitting as gifts for others. I bought this particular yarn while staying with a friend in Tahoe though and the scarf makes a nice memory.
Anyone else knitting this winter? Do you knit for yourself or mostly for gift giving?
Good morning, Darla!
ReplyDeleteI haven't done much knitting yet; looking at my UFOs and seeing if I want to finish them or just start something new.
That's a gorgeous scarf!
That turned out beautiful! I am not much of a knitter.
ReplyDeleteLovely scarf, Darla. Love the colors spread across it in a rainbow. Yes, I'm knitting, too. Finished a pair of purple socks for my DIL's Mom who'll be with us at Christman. Am now working on a scarf (simple k1, p1 ribbing) using the two skeins of lace-weight alpaca that DIL and son gave me for Christmas last year. Not a fan of lace knitting - appreciate its beauty, but don't have the patience - so am double stranding this scarf which makes it more a fingering weight. Thank you for sharing your project with us.
ReplyDeleteGosh, Darla, you gave yourself a spectacular gift. It is fantastic. I haven't knitted in years, nor crocheted either. You can be proud of your efforts because this is spectacular.
ReplyDeleteThat scarf is so beautiful Darla, and I am glad you are doing it for yourself. The colour is exquisite and so is the lacy pattern. I don't knit - tried it over 50 years ago, did a couple of sweaters, and lost interest :)
ReplyDeleteThat scarf is magnificent! Love the colors, pattern, and how the stripes turned out!
ReplyDeleteI don't knit, but I swear no matter what needlework/craft one does, it always ends up being more for other people than for oneself!
This scarf turned out so beautifully!!! The colors are lovely and I like the pattern. I would be interested in which yarn you used?
ReplyDeleteI mostly knit for others, but sometimes I knit for myself, like the "Secret Garden" shawl I finished a couple months ago.
Gorgeous scarf!
