Only Thing to Do on a Windy Night!

Brrrrrr…. It’s very windy out there in Waterford tonight. Perfect night for curling up on the couch knitting a scarf and crocheting little flowers. All I’m missing now is a hot chocolate 🙂

 

Ideas taking shape!

Scarf starting to take shape

The lace pattern scarf is starting to take shape now and my time spent charting out the tapering off pattern is paying off! I’ll have to write it out again in slightly more legible form for later patterns, but I’m very happy with how this is looking and after blocking the change from pattern to stockinette stitch should become more subtle.

Eating my words…

I’ve finally had to put down the needles and get my real designers cap on and resort to graphing. Turns out not everything can be worked out on the needles!

Let’s Start From the Very Beginning…

Swatches all knitted, stitches counted and measurements calculated. Now it’s time to cast-on and combine everything in the photo to create a lovely hand-knitted hat and scarf set!
