i have pics of the recent project to share. hopefully i'll figure out how to get these in here... the one thing i *don't* have is a picture of the whole, completed, finished scarf, correctly blocked, all ends woven in, and looking as it should on a mannequin or something like that. whoops! i'm an amateur. i'll get it right someday

Yay it looks lovely!!

[wolfkitn]

thank you! (you must know that you were such an inspiration to me, truly!!)

[naiaha]

Thank you, that's so nice!

Yay!!! You did an amazing job. I'm not the most patient person, so scarves are not my forte, and I'm impressed by anyone who can stick with it long enough to make one. As far as blocking goes, it is the step I most often skip. It involves getting your project damp and stretching or poking it into shape, sometimes applying pressure and/or heat. If I wash a sweater, it happens automatically as the sweater dries.

Fweet! Technical foul! Posting photos of a knitting project without identifying or pointing to your pattern. (But it's very nice.)

[wolfkitn]

hee! thanks.

three btws:

1) do i know you? :)
2) are you on ravelry? if so, who are you there?
3) as it happens, in this post, i did name the pattern, and the yarn, too. but just for you, i'll give it to you again: cream of spinach scarf, by larissa brown, and the yarn is savoy by tahki/stacy charles, in the color "denim".

as a newbie knitter, i found it to be just complex enough that i was challenged while not being so hard that i gave up in absolute frustration. i found the yarn to be utterly sumptuous, although probably not the most hardy.

enjoy!
