Here's the scarf I mentioned
Here's the scarf I mentioned yesterday.
I just a scarf, nothing exciting. The yarn is a new one (to me, at least!). It's by a yarn company called "Fiddlesticks" and the yarn is called "Bounce". I couldn't find it anywhere on the 'net, but the lady at Spotlight told me it's a new yarn that is made in Romania. It's a dirt cheap acrylic/wool/mohair blend. Only $2.50 a ball. I got three balls, and I think I'll have leftovers. I just cast on 20 sts on 6mm needles, and am doing a K2, P2 rib. I'm liking the way it's coming out.
Here's a closeup.
The loopy bits are a bit fiddly, getting caught around the needles, but it's not too bad.
Oh, and guess what I started?
I'm going to knit all afternoon, and you'll see more tomorrow! (But no-one's going to see the back ;)

Looks great. Sometime a scarf can be welcome mindless knitting.

Is that an earflap I spy? ;-) I did a skull hat for my SIL and that's the extent of any intarsia for me. It took too much concentration! Maybe when I get better at knitting with both hands...
