I decided that with the complicated scarf I am knitting, I needed something simple and fairly quick on the needles as well, so I cast on a sideways scarf out of yarn I hate, but is nice and masculine. It is intended for my brother in law. Not the question of the day is: how wide should it be? I have currently got about 4-5 inches. I am using size ( Read more... )
