Thursdays Are For Knitting, Too

April 11, 2013 By Carole

The socks I showed you yesterday are indeed finished but you’re going to have to wait until I get back from Mexico to see the glamour shots. And that’s because I have another finished hand knit to show you! Knitting on a knitting blog! Twice in one week! We haven’t seen that here at Carole Knits since the early days.

Anyway.

What’s a knitter to do when she gives away a lovely handspun handknit scarf? Why, make another one for herself, of course.

And so I did.

I have no idea what the handspun is but it’s very soft and the colors are bright and pretty.

It’s a chunkier yarn and it’s quite different from Margene’s but that’s just fine with me because the pattern is just as awesome.

I wouldn’t even be surprised if I knit another one of these scarves as they are kind of addicting.

Like potato chips except that I don’t eat potato chips anymore.

Good thing I still have my knitting.

    A much more satisfying addiction than the potato chip! Just sayin. So lovely, Carole — such a fun pop of color.

    Happy, tropical color which will be perfect for a photo shoot in Mexico!! I’m so glad you made a handspun shawl for yourself and the color will be fun to wear.

    Beautiful shawlette Carole! And your post yesterday inspired me to finish up one sock and get #2 going – thank-you!

    That is some gorgeous hand spun. I love the colors. I may have to check out that pattern. I love little scarves like that.

    I love it! The color is so happy and the pattern looks great. I think that is definitely one for the queue.

    I wonder if anyone has ever tried making yarn out of potato fiber??? They seem to make yarn out of all kinds of surprising substances these days.

    Carole! What a wonderfully vibrant shawl. Just what is needed in this spring-ish time of the year. I am so glad you made one for yourself!!

    Have a wonderful trip! No potato chips, only tortillas and fresh fruit margaritas! I usually don’t like the variegated yarn for patterns like that one but it t works beautifully.

    And too bad you can’t wear that gorgeous thing in Mexico. (Fear not, by the time you come back, we will have cold weather again, I’m sure.)

    I am totally going to rip off your idea and knit one of these scarves out of handspun! I really love natural colored fleeces, and I think this design is simple yet elegant and would look really nice in a plain-Jane natural colored yarn. I have a pile of handspun skeins, and it’s hard to find good patterns to knit them into. I bought a little Cricket loom, and have been having fun weaving scarves with handspun. I am surprised at how far a four ounce skein will go.

    Pretty! I thought it looked familiar – Blogless Marsha is knitting one in green. I think the name is funny since cedars don’t have leaves.
