Knittin' Nut








I did it!! I taught myself how to do cables and finally made my own scarf!! Check it out.

The pattern was fairly simple but I had to make an excel spreadsheet to keep track as I went.

The scarf was a bit bulky to wear unblocked, so I soaked it in warm water and laid it out on a towel, then rolled it up for a couple of days. After blocking it is softer and stretchier. Here's how it looks after blocking.







Pattern: The pattern is here. I used 2 skeins of Lion Brand "Wool-Ease Thick & Quick" yarn in color Fisherman (099) on size 15 (10mm) knitting needles.
