Last week saw the finish of my Celtic Weave Infinity Scarf:
Because I used worsted weight yarn, I made the middle of my scarf narrower than the original scarf - which was done in fingering weight yarn. The stitch pattern for the center panel of this scarf requires a starting chain of a count divisible by 4 +3. While the stitch pattern took some concentration at the beginning and ending of rows, it did finally become intuitive for me, and at that point it didn't take too long to finish. But I will admit, there was a fair amount of ripping back and redoing until that happened.
Fingering weight yarn appears to make a lovely drapey scarf while worsted weight yarn made a chunky, toasty one. 😊
Since it's the first day of autumn when posting this, and I'm realizing I haven't taken a picture of dishcloths knitted since late June, I snapped a quick shot of all the cloths I knitted this summer:
And that, dear reader, is all she wrote!

Not very many, but they are certainly colorful! 😃

the pattern on the Celtic Weave is great. It really shows up with the yarn you choose. Such a pretty color too. Look at all the dishcloths! You should not be running put anytime soon.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I will ever run out of dishcloths. I'm starting to make some larger cloths (that I prefer for face and body washcloths. While they take a little longer to make, they use up more yarn! :)
DeleteOoh look at that! The cowl is beautiful - I love the patterning and the colour.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lucy.
DeleteTh cowl is lovely I like that stitch. Lots of lovely dishcloths and knitted too!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sharon! :)
DeleteI love the cowl colour and pattern, very nice. I love how evenly sized your dishcloths are, do you have a preferred cast on number.
ReplyDeleteI do have preferred cast on #'s - depending on the size cloth I'm wanting (and the size needles I'm using). I've actually made some detailed notes. I'll give a more complete answer in a Q&A post later this week!
DeleteI really like at Celtic Weave pattern - it looks wonderful in the yarn you used. And you'll be washing your dishes in style with those cloths!
ReplyDeleteOnce I "got" the beginning and ending of each row I decided I loved it too! It is a yarn eater, though...
Deletegood for you for persevering with the cowl. It looks wonderful. and so do all your lovely washcloths!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mary-Anne. :)
DeleteThe stitch definition is terrifc and smooshy.
