Now that the cold weather is approaching, I've been in a knitting mood. I discovered this lovely scarf at FrankenSkein. The actual pattern for the scarf can be found at Stitch DC Blog. I knit this scarf up in one day! If you've never tried cable knit before, this would be a great project to learn from. I think you might be surprised how easy it is.On a side note, I think my neighbors must think I'm crazy. My neighbor was out cutting the hedges when she saw me wrapping a scarf around the fence and taking pictures of it. I also wrapped it around a tree to take pictures. And you can bet this wasn't the first time. Perhaps if they knew I blogged it wouldn't come across as so odd. But, I'm not giving out that information. I'm fine with being the strange neighbor in their eyes.
sad attempt #1 - taking a picture of myself wearing the scarf. I kind of look like a mannequin in this picture because it's so blurry.
sad attempt #2 - proof that this is in fact me and not a mannequin, not the most flattering shot either
IT is really pretty! I can't believe you did it in only a day, though I am not a knitter.
ReplyDeleteps. they are not "sad attempts", I think they are great, they get the perspectives across brilliantly! :)
Lovely scarf...and I like your picture!! ;)
ReplyDeleteHow funny! I was must wondering today how a scarf made from one giant cable would be. It's gorgeous! (oh, and cabling is so much easier than it looks. I was so intimidated!)
ReplyDeleteI love the scarf, Jessica! Your's appears less bulky than one of them I saw on FrankenSkein, and I really prefer the less bulky look. What yarn did you use?
ReplyDeleteHa ha ha, I love imagining what is going through your neighor's mind, that's great! Gorgeous scarf--I LOVE the color!
ReplyDeleteWow! Knitting too? You are so talented, it looks great.
ReplyDeleteHey, thanks for the shout out! I finished that project so quick, but I love the color you used, so I may have to make it again! Yours does appear a bit less bulky...did you use Cascade Magnum and size 19 needles?
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I am a long time fan of your blog...ever since I saw that amazing pencil-shaped scarf....I'm actually making it for my niece this xmas!
One day - that's amazing!
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI have got my wool so hopefully before next summer I will have my own cable scarf.
Can I pick your brains? I would like to put some of my ideas onto craft by craftzine.com. I subscribe and recieve emails daily but I can not see on the website how to go about this. Can you help?
Many thanks

Beautiful cable knit.
ReplyDeleteI think it's important to keep an air of mystery going... what else would the neighbors have to worry about?
