First I finally finished knitting Madison's birthday scarf. Her birthday was forever ago and I just kept messing up and couldn't find a pattern I liked to go with the yarn. Finally I gave up because sometimes all a yarn needs is a little garter stitch and love.
It's knit from two balls of Knit Picks Sugar Bunny in Platinum. I held the yarn double. The scarf is shorter then I would normally like but Madison is really short and petite so hopefully it will be the right length for her. The yarn is so soft I love it so much. I am kind of sad that they don't sell it anymore but oh well. The only annoying thing is that it sheds like no other. If I knitted it while wearing jeans I would end up covered in fiber. I am going to go back to spinning for now because my brain is slowly turning into mush. I have yarn and a hat to show you sometime this week.
I hope you all are keeping happy, safe, and dry. Sending happy thoughts out east.
Hooray for finished knits! It looks fantastic, she is sure to adore it! I can't wait to see the hat!
ReplyDeleteCongrats ! I definitely think FOTN should be a serious term, I know exactly how you feel !
ReplyDeleteYay for finished knits! I have so many things on the needles right now that desperately need to be finished. Your Sugar Bunny scarf is just lovely: your friend is sure to love it! :)
ReplyDeleteI agree that sometimes garter stitch is all you need! I'm assuming the yarn has angora bunny fiber in it, which would explain its softness and tendency to shed. Unfortunately, I don't think you can do much about the shedding.
