I am officially feeling arthritic. Knitting needles are my new appendages. Here is the latest: My mom wanted a cream scarf to go with a new coat. I found the over at Bernat, and the mitten pattern at ravelry.com. I used Yarn Bee “Melody Bulky Wool Blend” in Alabaster which I bought at Hobby Lobby. It is 70% wool and 30% acrylic, making it machine washable and dryable, with the warmth of wool. I washed these on warm and tumbled dry on low heat. They did not felt any noticeable degree, and emerged from the dryer all cuddly soft. I finished both patterns over a 3 day span (knitting a little obsessively), so if you need a quick, beautiful and classic project, give it a shot. Both patterns great for beginners! Spend time with yarn daily…
Very nice! 🙂 I'm finally past the hat-knitting stage and plan to move onto something a bit more challenging – like maybe mittens! I just finished a little lamb and found the detail of the pattern to be quite like a puzzle – fun! I figure if I can make a lamb I should be able to tackle mittens. Yours sure look nice!
Those look great! I'm a crocheter myself. Don't have the patience for knitting.
This is exactly why I need to learn how to knit. I'm been meaning to see if I can find a few beginners lessons on YouTube or something… Great job!
you are so creative!!! too good!!
Looks so warm and soft and love the color.
