Notes

February 1, 2021

I am expecting the wool to arrive any minute now.

It is my intention to continue knitting this pattern until it’s the correct length to be called a scarf - I’m experimenting - I will Kitchener the two ends together.

February 4, 2021

Started on second skein of Wistetia.

Seconds skein of black was started a few days ago.

One completed pattern set finished. I’m guessing I will need to knit approximately 5 or 6 pattern sets to make decent length scarf.

February 7, 2021

Skein 3 of black started today. Still waiting to hear from Love Craft to confirm more black in stock.

Skein 5 of black started

February 21, 2021

Skein 5 of wisteria started.

This is going to make a wide scarf. I should’ve removed one chart repeat but forgot. Oh well, never mind, extra warmth next winter joy

February 22, 2021

Skein 6 black started.

February 25, 2021

Skein 6 wisteria started.

February 26, 2021

Skein 7 of black started

February 27, 2021

I decided to finish knitting this. When cast off completed, I realised I had finished too short. Never mind. Photos to follow tomorrow. This can be used as a scarf by a broad shouldered person or used as a short shawl or a head covering Or a cowl for a giraffe.
Loved knitting this but next time will try to use correct wool joy

It’s very dificult trying to take photos of myself wearing it. I was trying to show how it can be worn but it didn’t quite work out. Mirrors in my home are just to reflect light :)
