a scarf for everyone
So I saw this video podcast on Knitting over at Craft Zine, and I learned to knit... yippeeeee :) You can also download a pdfcast from their blog.
The first scarf I knitted was an experiment piece with different patterns. The result was a bit of a mutant scarf especially when I started out with 12 knits per row and in the middle I ended up with 15 knits, then 18 knits per row... ack! But I brought the amount of knits back down again and it's somewhat symmetrical now.
I thought that since I spend hours commuting between Milan and Turin, I could knit on the train. Sometimes I do work on the train and am quite productive on the train, mostly in the mornings, but I think knitting would be nice, and I get to make a nice scarf for someone.
I was looking for yarns to make scarves with, and because I have particular people in mind, I become quite picky with the colours, weight and texture of the yarn. I want it to match the person(s). It's funny to actually see what colours and textures I associate with certain individuals.
Mmm... let's hope this is really something I can keep up, and not just a temporary thing. People have been pinging me on Skype and Facebook asking for scarves.
