I knitted this FOR ME. Not for anyone else. I LOVE this.
It is a knitted neck scarf that was long ago posted on marthastewart.com and just recently featured here on Amy Karol’s angry chicken blog.
It was quick to knit on size 8 needles with a muted lavender heather “classic superwash chunky” wool by ella rae that I picked up when at The Twisted Knitter before Christmas.
While at The Twisted Knitter, my youngest son who was buying a gift for my eldest daughter (they draw names for sibling gifts), chose the very same yarn in a soft aqua. Should I kidnap that yarn before she winds it? Hmmmm…
After a drab Christmas – I *despise* the shopping and greed of Christmas – and a struggling several days due to the late nights and emotional strain that have exacerbated this stoopid mono (I am *expletive* sick of mono) this lovely little scarf was exactly what I needed. Knitted in 15-20 minute chunks of time over two days, I was able to at least push the sore throat and swollen joints and nausea to the background.
I just LOVE this little scarf. And maybe. Just maybe. It’s helped me get my blog groove back on…
I saw this neck scarf on pinterest and it’s on my “to make for myself” list. I’m still knitting some gifts for people I haven’t seen yet but as soon as I’m done, it’s this little knit for me! I love how yours turned out and the lavender color is quite lovely.
This is such a super quick and easy thing to make. I’ve gone to make two others for gifts and am now trying a different weight yarn to see what happens. Enjoy!
Oh my goodness. I LOVE that color on you. I am glad you got to do a little something for you. You really need to start feeling better soon, I mean seriously… this is going on 3 months now if not a bit more?! Hope your having some great family time and I will chit chat with you soon.
Thank YOU! I *love* this thing!
