My husband has been in and out of the hospital, he has cancer. The above photos shows how I left a seam unfinished when we had to dash off to Loma Linda University Medical Center. I don't think I've ever left a seam unfinished before!
Bob has been hospitalized 10 of the last 12 days, and the current stay has no end is sight. I was gifted 2 skeins of Classic Elite's Princess yarn a couple of years ago, by Interweave Publishing, They were promoting their new book, New England Knits. I learned to knit when I was 20, but haven't picked up my needles in about 10 years. Knitting is like riding a bicycle, you never forget.
I finished this scarf while sitting at Bob's bedside, It was a good use of my time, it'll be nice to have it this winter. I also read and fool around on the iPad, to fill my time. Today I started knitting a pair of slippers, I'm using bits of leftover yarn, so they maybe patchwork-ish.
May your bobbins always be full,
The pattern for the scarf: CO 30 stitches, use needles 2 sizes larger than your yarn calls for. My yarn recommended size 7, I used size 9.
ReplyDeleteFirst End:
Rows 1-3: K3, P3 rib pattern
Rows 4-6: P3, K3 rib pattern
Repeat alternating pattern until you've reached the desired length for the end.
Scarf Body Pattern:
Row 1: K3, P3, repeat
Row 2: K1, P1, repeat
Repeat scarf knit pattern until it's long enough
Finish the Second End, just like the first end.
A big hug is winging its way across the internet for you
