In fact, 2 days after I sat down and retaught myself to knit, I took a cable workshop, and boggled at how easy it was! It looks like magic, but it's ridiculously easy. :) <br /><br />Really, all you're doing is slipping a few stitches onto a spare needle, knitting a few stitches, then knitting the stitches you put on hold on the spare needle. The twist direction depends on if the stitches are held in the front or back. Sounds more complicated than it is. DO EET! :)Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10477887672613694373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8843130514951400882.post-71651088494536053842015-01-07T22:50:30.184-08:002015-01-07T22:50:30.184-08:00Those pictures were pre-washed...the scarf grew a ...Those pictures were pre-washed...the scarf grew a bit, but I'm still happy with the length. It actually looked like it was going to be even longer while it was wet, but it shrunk back down after it dried. Whew! The yarn is the perfect treat yarn - so scrumptious!! I think shawls/scarves are prefect for special yarns. :) I'll be looking forward to seeing what you come up with!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10477887672613694373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8843130514951400882.post-6158206280989920962015-01-06T14:51:34.389-08:002015-01-06T14:51:34.389-08:00Great scarf - and the colour suits you too :)Great scarf - and the colour suits you too :)Sarah Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17566072246120028926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8843130514951400882.post-85649385595902338482015-01-05T23:01:16.073-08:002015-01-05T23:01:16.073-08:00It's glorious!!

I treat my tv knits like you do travel knits. It helps me get thru fingering weight stockinette so much faster.<br />Juniper Moon is one of those yarn brands I ogle online, but never buy. But a shawl is the perfect excuse for fancy yarn. After finally making one, I can see why knitters love them. They only require a skein or two, but are more visible than socks. I have a few lined up for this year and I am using really nice yarn for them, too. Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11488626150901992145noreply@blogger.com
