First Scarf Finished

[cyberspice]

I finished my first knitting project in a long long while. Its a simple knit scarf of 24 knit stitches per row in Rico Design "Roxy" yarn (73% acrylic/27% new wool - 50gm/60m - Colour violet 007). It took four balls to get a decent length using 8mm needles.

Finishing it off turned out to be problematic. I didn't realise how much yarn I would need to bind off and ran out half way through. This meant I had to undo the bind off which wasn't easy and I dropped at least one stitch doing it. I then had to unknit a few rows to give me the length needed and to be able to correct the dropped stitch. Whilst doing this the yarn broke. I ended up having to lay the piece flat, take it off the needle, pull off several rows and then carefully rethread the needle. I succeeded though and here it is.

Looks lovely and warm! Just the thing for this kind of weather, and the uberstorm that they claim is coming.

Fabulous!!!!!!!

I'm going to try knitting some armwarmers - perhaps we can get together at some point and 'stitch and bitch' :-)

That would be fun! Espcially if cake was involved. :-)
