Two Steps Forward, One Step Back
The current theme in my world is Catching Up, or rather, Trying to Catch Up. I’m so incredibly tired of the long lists of tasks — at home and at the office — that I’ve decided to quit talking about them. It’s the status quo. Deal with it.
Nonetheless, here’s an FO from last month that didn’t make it to the blog. Michelle’s Holiday Scarf.
Pattern: February Lace Scarf by Laura Nixon-Corfield
Yarn: Sock Yarn from The Woolen Rabbit in the Pussywillow Colorway
Needles: US Size 4 (3.5mm)
Size: Before blocking – 6” x 42” After blocking – 5.5” x 60”
Mods: None
Comments: This is a simple 4-row lace repeat, which makes it easy to memorize. It also makes it Boring Beyond Belief. You will be ready to stab your eyes out with your knitting needles after 4 inches of knitting. Srsly. The upside, though, is that it looks complicated to a non-knitter.
The recipient, whom I’ve known for over a dozen years, was delighted. I say that I don’t knit for other people. The truth is, I do; but it’s an extremely short and exclusive list.
