I know the scarf looks kind of wonky! I am still learning. In fact, it's my first attempt at trying moss stitch and also, picking up lost stitches.
So, I have recently discovered this beautiful 100% pure Japanese wool yarn. It's called Avril and I got them from Pauline at Popcraft. It has a really ropey texture. It's nice and chunky and knits really quickly. So as a result, I've been pretty much knitting in the morning, knitting on the trams, knitting at the studio, while I draw, While in the kitchen, while watching shows on the television, and also just before I sleep. Basically I have been knitting everywhere I go. Poor Darren. He ends up just having a mad knitter nana as a girlfriend. Oops. Oh and I have matchy green nails to go with my greeny autumn looking scarf. I think that scarf needs a bit of a mustard colour in there somewhere. Do you think?
I'm doing another scarf too alongside this one. It's a more masculine looking scarf. Grey and cream. I'm thinking I might get some nice wooden buttons to go with it. Not sure if Darren will wear a scarf with buttons. Might be too girly. Hmmm
wow I'm really like your nail and toe colour :D
ReplyDeleteIve just caught the knitting bug again too, glad to see im not the only wobbley one!
ReplyDeleteI'll send you a picture of the scarf I'm working on at the beginning it's even more wonky that yours! Have you heard of Extreme Knitting? My Mum told me about it last week - it's awesome!
ReplyDeleteI love your green toenail polish!! Reminds me of Shrek! I think you're doing pretty well for a first timer :)

The scarf looks like it's coming along great! It's funny how the perfect yarn almost inspires you to knit, knit, knit.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your creation, I'm sure it will turn out beautifully!

ReplyDeleteIt looks so cosy! I love that wool, the weight and the colour are perfect.
ReplyDeleteI'm learning to knit by making a cardigan... I sadly have lots of experience with dropped stitches. Sigh! But it has mostly been a fun project!
Good effort! That chunky wool looks lovely.
ReplyDeleteI am a beginner too but oh I just love knitting! Let your Nanna flag fly because you can meet some really nice folk when you're out and about with your knitting.
