The one where I keep knitting scarves.
Pattern: Generic Basketweave
Yarn: Muench Touch Me in 3 Barbie Pink, 2 Lime Green and 2 Lavender
Tools: Knit Picks Harmony in size 8
Modifications: none
This is not my first time working with chenille, but it wasn't until Touch Me that I finally understood. Understood that Holy Cthulu this stuff worms. First off, I'm somewhat of a loose knitter, really should of went down to 7. There is a reason why one half of the scarf slightly overlaps the other. I didn't pull tight enough after a few rows so there are 3 large worms sticking out. Felting didn't fix it either. The ends that I weaved in were completely scalped of their chenille, so if you look closely little white and black strands of wool are visible. Some degrees of softness were lost after felting, too. The surface has a bumpy texture from the ends woven in.
Other than that? OMG, this scarf is so wonderful. I absolutely love it. The brightness of it assaults the eyes, but it only wants to give you candy!
Pattern: Wavy scarf from Handmaiden
Yarn: Handmaiden Silk Cashmere and Silkspun in Melon
Tools: Knit Picks in size 10
Modifications: none
Nothing but wonderful things to say about this whole project. The yarns, the kits and the price. Its always a pleasure to work with cashmere and silk, plus the kit was on sale! I managed to use all that I could, leaving less than a yard behind. This is by far my favorite Melon: butter yellows, soft pinks and very little orange.
According to my counter, 6000 of you had visited my blog. You know what? Your all freakin' awsome. I created my first webpage when I was 14 on Geocities. Wow, remember Geocities? Anyway, it had my recipe for a love perfume involving rose and plum wine (wtf?) and my awesome pre-teen poetry, which was probably about suffering or parents or a combination of both. The entire year it was up I don't think I even had 300 hits. One guy who wrote in my guestbook said that he was looking up pictures of people puking and my site came up and politely asked that I post pictures of myself doing so. The title of it was something like Snow Tiger Princess. Yeah, I don't know either. Apparently I had a thing for inbred animals then.
Wow I digressed there. Thanks for visiting my site and reading my blathering blog. I mean it!
