Reclamations and progress
I also came across my scribble lace stole that I've had in progress for about two years now -- from the bulky wool I brought back from Germany and a fine laceweight on a cone from Habu. I think I'll pop in a movie and get working on that again - it will make good DVD knitting.
Oh, and I promised pics of the magic scarf steps, didn't I? Well, without further ado:
Steps to Knitting a Magic Scarf
- Cast on sufficient stitches for about half to three-quarters of the width you want.
- Knit straight in stockingette stitch for as long as you want, but until it is at least half the length you want. No, I have no magic formula for how long the scarf will be at the end.
Scarf in progress: - Cast off with a crochet hook slightly larger than the needles used to knit the scarf, using the method *K1 (with hook), Chain 1, drop 1 from the left needle, K1 (with hook), Pass first stitch over second to bind off* and repeat from * to * until the end of the row. As so:
- Once bound off, you should have something that looks like this:
- Then, just pull:
If you google "magic scarf knitting pattern" you may come up with a few more sites where people have attempted this in various incarnations. I used Koigu Painter's Palette Premium Merino and size 4 needles, knitted flat. I haven't measured the finished product yet because I haven't pulled out all the length -- several others are wanting to see this final step. Once it's done, I'll post the comparison and final photos.
Cheers!
