knitting a scarf

scarf.jpgWell… I’m either really bored, really lazy (and thus avoiding work), or really stressed.

I bought this book today, got some nice “novelty” yarn and I’m going to try and learn to knit the pink scarf you see in the picture on the left!

UPDATE: This is how far I’ve come - 2.5 inches of a scarf after roughly two hours of knitting. Remember, I’ve never knit before this.

This scarf is going to be soooo gorgeous!

  1. Julia Roberts knits. How that is of any relevance, I don’t know.

    very bright pink. well, at least you’ll be a cheery bright spot amidst the dreary grey of winter. go jikon!

  2. Looks good. I tried knitting once, gave up after three rows of basic about 12 inches long. I went back to cross-stitch.

  3. I LOVE KNITTING…but yarn here in M’sia sucks big-time. I miss the variety of fluffy, colourful yarns of different textures/materials…

    Keep it up and you know what would be a great project? A throw over!!! *drools*

    ps: I heard from somewhere that bamboo/wooden knitting needles are better but never found out why. ~_~

  4. Pick Yin: cross stitch is easier but not very useful… i mean what do you do with all those pretty “pictures”?!? they’re too tacky to frame up and hang on a wall.

    I used to crochet - that’s more difficult than knitting - but the patterns for projects are a little tacky…

    Spot: this scarf is going to my cousin. i’m knitting myself a two-tone blue striped one later.

    Mei: yarn - you want ah…?? ;)

  5. wow`
    very nice colour and design.
    the steps are very clear in the book and easy to follow?

  6. glinar: the instructions in the book is not super clear but it’s clear enough to get me started. on one occassion i did have to cross reference with the instructions in other books to understand what i needed to do, but you see, i’m good at that - doing research that is!

  7. I’m too shy to ask. :(
    I’m knitting a blue-ish scarf with leftover yarn I bought from Australia two years ago…hopefully that turns out good.

    ps: Good site to go (to get free patterns and even different types of stitches) to is http://knitting.about.com
