Hey knitters! With winter coming up, I thought I’d share my Column of Leaves scarf pattern. It’s done in a beautiful lacy leaf motif and it pretty easy and quick to do. Let me know what you think. Also if anyone has patterns to share, post them here!
That is truly lovely. I just bookmarked it and I’m going to spend the rest of the afternoon daydreaming about what yarn in my stash will show it off best. Thanks for sharing it.
prints Ahhh, I love having a laser printer at work. I’m totally going to start one of these when I get home. I need a new scarf - and once the inevitable screwed-up one I make is done, I’ll know what I’m doing wrong, and I can make lots of 'em for friends and coworkers.
is now excited I haven’t knitted in so long - but seeing the scarf made the bug bite me again.
Far from it. My first project with a new skill is always a disaster - or the first half of it looks horrid, but the rest comes out beautifully. Whatever is going to be hardest to fix, usually.
I’m just learning to knit and can do the basic knit/purl stuff well enough to create a block of my own pattern but don’t know how to do anything curvy like your leaf stitch yet. I might see my mentor this Thursday. I’ll bring your pattern (which she’ll love and want to do herself) and maybe she can help me get a start on it.
I’d offer to make you one and send it, but you might get my waffle scarf, haha.
Actually, the problem is that I’ve been so busy lately, that I’ve barely got the time to do any of my standard crafts - basket weaving, knitting, crocheting, sewing, latch-hook, cross stitching, anything. The only reason I can even satiate my SMDB addiction is because I have free time at work often (and they don’t take kindly to me hauling in a needlepoint pattern, soo).
But if I had the time to actually sit and make my crafts all day, I’d totally send you all stuff - cuz I have nowhere to put it, and not nearly enough people in my life to offload the stuff on. Come to think of it, though, there’s probabably charities that would love to have crafts, for the homeless and for raffles. ponders this
I’ve started on this now, using KnitPicks’ Andean Silk in Pitch (the color looks deep gray on my screen but it’s actually black). It looks great; I just hope I can block the hell out of it to make it look decent!
I tried to make a scarf for myself last winter, and tried several different patterns before starting on one that I didn’t hate, shelving it when I ran out of yarn. I only ordered more a month ago, and I think I’ll just rip that partially-done section to scavenge the yarn for this.
