This knitting has been traveling around in my bag for weeks. It is my go-to project for waiting in doctor’s offices, waiting during the kids’ swim lessons, etc. Last week I had a particularly stressful day with a lot of unexpected waiting-room-waiting and I was glad to have this by my side.
Sometimes I swear at my knitting when I screw it up. Sometimes my husband asks if I enjoy knitting (since he hears the bad words I direct at it). Sometimes the knitting does make me crabby. Most of the time it doesn’t. I love the repetitive motion, the feel of the needles, the look of the yarn. It’s all good. Ok, 99% good.
This scarf is on Ravelry, called Favorite Scarf Ever. I’m knitting it with a merino blend sock yarn that I picked up at a yarn swap. Love the colors! And I am super into chevron stripes right now.
I wonder if I’ll finish this before winter ends?
Thanks for all of your great comments about my last post, Adventures in Prototyping. I’m glad I made many of you feel better knowing that you are not alone in your repetitive trial and error process. I know it made me feel better! I enjoy reading process posts as well, so I hope to offer more and share ones I find around the web that might interest you. Last week I found a great discussion about interfacing on U-handbag (I know, right? So fascinating) and a wonderful series called Elements of Soft Toy Design by Abigail Glassenberg of While She Naps.
The blue colour is fabulous and I love that you have a bag to match 😉
This is lovely. I know how it feels to have a “go to” knitting project. I hope you post a photo of the final product. Knitting is so calming, but I also find the necessity to swear when things don’t go to plan .
love that yarn! Can’t wait to see this finished <3
That really is a pretty yarn! I really enjoy your blog, find it very inspiring and always look forward to seeing what cute things you’re creating. Thanks for a great blog!
I love the color of the yarn and the way the pattern makes it pop!
Love this, I’ll have to track it down on ravelry.
Oooh, that’s so pretty. I added it to my favorites! As I was doing so, I realized that the pattern was designed by my friend’s sister. Small world!
Hiya! Just wanted to pop in and say thanks for featuring my pattern in your blog post today! I hope your finished scarf becomes one of your favorites ever 😀 Looks really lovely so far!
