i was thinking of a special scarf for some time… had a look at many shops but i didn’t find what i had in mind. but hey, i’m knitter, right?! so i just knit my dream scarf myself. 🙂
the idea: a long, wide, ribbed purple scarf with fringe!
so i got some yarn at ebay, 600g of austermann mombasa (100% cotton, 100m/50g)…
…and started with a very easy pattern. co 89 st, then k3, p3 aaaaaall the way until the scarf is about 2m long… which will take forever… but anyway 😉
just finished my sherbrooke cowl. it was a very easy project. absolutely mindless knitting.
pattern: sherbrooke
yarn:1.5 skeins of lana grossa, superlana.
needles: set of 4.5mm dpns
autumn can come. i’m prepared!
it’s done! the seascape stole. i don’t think i’ll keep it for myself, but don’t know yet how’ll get it as a present… 🙂
pattern: seascape
yarn: handpaintedyarn lace, esmeraldas, less than 1 skein
needles: 4.5mm
almost finished! i washed and blocked my seascape stole today. now i just need to wait…
yay, got a yarn winder and swift for my birthday. no more ball winding by hand! 🙂
i think you can guess what the first thing was i did this morning?! 😉
got the new copy of interweave knits and already cast on the lovely „knotty or knice socks“, my first toe up socks ever. 🙂
growing… i worked almost 5 repeats of pattern b now. so just one more and the end to go… can’t wait to see this stole when it’s blocked!
this is a tutorial for a very basic iphone sock. it’s a great project to use up sock yarn leftovers. it will fit quite snugly, which is great because your precious iphone won’t slip out.
here we go:
yarn: fingering weight, any 4ply sock yarn or similar will work fine.
needle: 2.5mm
————————–
setup:
CO 38 st.
distribute them on 3 needles and close the loop, being careful not to twist: 10 st on 1st needle, 19 st on 2nd needle, 9 st on 3rd needle.
ribbing:
k1, p1-ribbing for 6 rows
main part:
k needles 1 and 3, work pattern over needle 2.
repeat the pattern until the desired length (about 5 inch). i worked 6 pattern repeats.
– = purl
empty box = knit
finishing:
when you have finished the last pattern repeat, work needles 3 and 1 once more. put the stitches of needle 1 and 3 on one needle. you’ll have 19 st on each needle.
now you are ready for grafting, which is described here.
weave in the ends and enjoy your iphone sock!
i’m improvising sneaker socks. just plain stockinette stich and cotton yarn (lana grossa, meilenweit cotton: 45% cotton, 42% wool, 13% polyamide)
