Here is one of my wips ..

[Goldkeeper]

I kinda making it up as I go a very basic scarf ..All I wanted to do is use as much thread as possible .. It is 403 stitches the long way ..I was trying to duplicate a scarf I have, made out of cotton fabric.. and because I did not think I had the right colors I order other colors to try to match it a little better..

Wow! What size needles are you using?

[Goldkeeper]

I am using Knit-Picks needles size 4 and thread size 3 .

That's going to be very pretty..

[HomekeepingGran]

I don't know how I missed this earlier. Very pretty and cheerful, Ana! Are you knitting this lengthwise? It rather looks like it from the picture. And I was also going to ask, how do you like knitting with thread instead of yarn?

[Goldkeeper]

Thanks Carla

 

 

Yes, I am doing it lengthwise ..First time I am using the knitPicks 60" cable with my sz4 needles.. Since I am a thread crocheter at heart , knitting with it is great too . I love cotton and the feel of it, more than wool and all the other natural animal fur/hair

I like the looks of the scarf and I love the colors.

I love thread too! I am a novice knitter but one of the first things I made was in thread!LOL!

[Goldkeeper]

Thanks Gals,

 

 

This is how far I have done ..I should have finished by now but , I have been getting my veggie garden started and Spring cleaning, and a new scarf

 

 

 

Here is one I started with yellow size 3 thread I found an easy lace pattern and this one is with size 2 Knit Picks needle . It is 12inches wide and I don't know how long I will make it ..

 

 

[HomekeepingGran]

LOL, you're bitten with the lace bug, too, Ana! What pattern is your newest, the pretty yellow?

 

And as for length it partly depends on how tall you are and partly on your taste. I've seen scarf patterns as short as 36" and as long as, well, as long as you want to make them, so that they measure into many, many feet, not inches. One of the guidelines I often see is to make it as long as you are tall, but this is really a personal preference. Most of the scarves I see run about 60", give or take a few. How long do YOU want it to be?

[Goldkeeper]

Thanks Carla .

 

Yes it bit me but the problem it keeps biting .. ..The pattern found is in Knitty web site I hope this link works..

I try to watch Knitty when it comes out but I don't remember this pretty pattern, Ana. It's nice. Very simple and elegant. I'll have to keep it in mind when I want something like this. Is it proving fairly quick?

[Goldkeeper]

Hi Carla ,

 

 

It seems very easy to me ..I still have my index cards for each row and have not used a life line :sweatand not missed a stitch. I have one more row to finish the stripe scarf , then I'll continue with the the yellow one .

No lifeline? Wow. You're getting good! I have started moving mine every 8 rows instead of every 4 but I still use it. Ana, I found a really wild way to correct mistakes which was pretty terrifiying the first time but it sure is easier than tearing out several rows. With a lifeline I can confidently take out the offending section and knit it back, knowing I won't accidently take out more stitches than I really need to.

OMG I just looked at that site I rather tear it out and start all over

 

I think is my little bit of OCD that I have ..

[HomekeepingGran]

Nooooooooooo... it really is easier to just take out a small section and redo. Trust me. I've done both...

[Goldkeeper]

Ok..

 

 

I finished the colorful scarf..It is one of my favorite.. so here it is..

[HomekeepingGran]

Zowie! How pretty! Don't you just KNOW that's one of your favorites? It really lights up the screen, Ana! Very nice.

Beautiful!

[Goldkeeper]

Thank you guys !!

 

I am not finished with this pattern .http://knitty.com/ISSUEfall04/PATTcozy.html..I just had to start this one http://www.lionbrand.com/patterns/70337AD.html to see how it would look as a scarf and so far it looks good.. and yes I am working with size 3 thread and size 1 Knit-Picks needles .

[HomekeepingGran]

Go, Ana, go! Love the green. It's going to be beautiful!
