Friday, December 14, 2007 - On My Needles
|
I have been doing some knitting and have not been online a lot (for those of you who thought you saw me on AIM, it was the kidlets using my desktop for school:)
I am working on a baby blankie...... for my new somebody coming in March - I don't know if it is a niece or nephew..
I have a fun fur and denim blue scarf that I am knitting on 15's. I am knitting with the denim blue 2 rows and then every 3rd row adding the fun fur in and using both yarns for one row. It honestly doesn't look striped at all. It looks like I knit the whole thing using both of the yarns. Weird. I would have thought that on 15's it would surely show up, but... it didn't. That's ok, now I know how to make fun fur go farther!

I am going to start a sideways scarf for Raymond's boss today. You use circular needles and cast on like 120 stitches or so, then knit in garter stitch until you like the width, and bind off using a slightly larger needle, so that the bound off side doesn't scrunch up.
I think I am going to make it red, green and white. I have forest green yarn that matches this guy's coat perfectly. Then I will be using a garnet ( well, maybe a bit brighter than that) red with some white. I'll probably stripe it. I wound the red and white together into one ball and then the green and some more white into another one. I don't want it to look too Christmasy..... so I plan on using a lot of green and just a little red. I'll post pictures when I get around to it. |
