Scarves

This is my latest purchase. I'm a big scarf knitter and am always interested in new ideas. The book has ideas for pleated scarves, i-cord, short rows, scrap yarn slits, divided rib and intarsia. I will use these ideas as the basis for some new designs of my own. The author remarks in her acknowledgements that she has used a subdued colour palette which is not necessarily her personal taste and I do find the colours used a bit dreary. I don't understand why she didn't use colours she liked, unless she didn't have editorial control of the book.

Speaking of which, my lace sampler scarf has been published in the latest issue of Knit Today and I'm very pleased with the result. The staff publish my patterns as I write them, so I am confident that the instructions and processes are correct. If you want to start lace knitting and don't want patterns which are too complex, please try it.

Knitting group tonight and I'm looking forward to seeing my friends.
