I Knit A Little

This time of the year, I almost always get the desire to knit. Whether I knit something is a different story.  However, this time I really wanted to complete a project.  But, wasn’t sure what to knit. I wasn’t keen on another scarf because frankly, that is all I knit. See, I haven’t graduated from scarves yet. So, I decided I need to add to my knitting repertoire.
 
I ended up enrolling in Stephanie Japel’s Knitting Lab and Hats Four Ways on craftsy. Side note, I am becoming a craftsy junkie.  I’ll tell you more about that later. One of the projects in the knit lab, is a key hole scarf. This project introduces you to lace, which is something I want to learn.  So, I knitted another scarf. But it’s different from what I have knitted in the past. Simple garter stitch scarves with novelty yarns.

 

                              
 
This scarf went fast. Working in small amounts of time, I had it completed in a week.  I have to say, I feel fulfilled. LOL!!  Next, I plan on making a matching hat. The yarn I selected comes in a bulky weight. This is the weight I need for the hat in the Knit Hats 4 Ways class.
 
Here are a few stats on the scarf.
 
Yarn: Swish Merino Wool from knitpicks 
Needle: US 7
Stitches: knits, purls and yarn overs.
 
On the sewing front, wrapping up my navy pants.  One of three pairs I want to make for the Fall.
 

Until next time……….keep sewing!!
