See what I did there... The first... the worst... No, really though I am quite happy with what I ended up with. The scarf is done, its not strangely shaped, and it feels nice to wear something that I knit myself. That being said, I think it will be a bit before I go for another scarf, at least in a worsted weight, because my LORD they take forever! I started knitting this thing in October, and I just finished it over the weekend. I loved doing it at first, because it was new, and I thought I was doing something cool by doing seed stitch. And in the long run, it does look very cool, but it was all very elementary and wrote once i got over the novelty. The next time I tackle a scarf, I am considering making my first cable piece. That would be a very good and interesting thing to make. We'll see though.
Now, its time to move onward and upward... literally. I am starting hats! I have two in mind that I want to do right now: One for my wonderful boyfriend, and one for my lovely sister. The one for my boy friend is up first, with a beautiful merino blend in a blue and grey variegated colorway:
I am very much looking forward to this project, because I am promised that hats can be done fairly quickly, for one, and also, because I can't wait to give it to my man. It will be my first knitting in the round experience, so I am also looking forward to that. Also to get him to stop wearing the beanie he has been wearing for the last three winters. :)
I'm planning on starting tonight, so hopefully I will have something to put up within the next few days!
