I saw the fun and very soft
"Frill Seeker" and this
"how to video" or this
one for crochet. This yarn is essentially the same as Bernat
"Twist & Twirl" and its
video. I made one for myself, and knitted it closed into a loop so that it would not slip off my neck (or the coat hook at work) and get lost. It is loose enough to be looped twice around my neck to keep it warm.
I have a couple others made for some cuties that I know. These will be gifts so watch and wait.
The trick to using this yarn is to work along the outside edge, placing the needle tip about 1/4" in from the edge, and about an inch apart; ignoring the rest of the "fishnet-like" yarn. When all is done, a bit of fluffing, shaking and ruffling makes it all look pretty.
There are lots of great colour combo's too.
The scarf can be knitted up in 2 evenings of TV watching, or one evening if you are not being very distracted. It is a fast and fun knitting project, and pretty easy once you get used to working along the edge.
P.S.The shawl is being saved as my vacation project so watch this space for more photos soon.

ReplyDeleteHmm, after reading Andrea's comment, I think Blogger is messing up! You enter all your info into the comment, hit "post" and it takes you to the old comment format. Anyway...I said, I think I'm in love with this scarf! I'm adding it to my after-Christmas list.
