Did You Stop By to See Knitting?


Why just make one? This is Grinda, from Cornelia Tuttle Hamilton's Noro Book One. A super easy pattern to memorize, and goes really fast, because of the hole factor. There's a lot of pesky ends to weave in, though. The one on the left is Silk Garden #206, and on the right #228. The #206 is left over from my Gloria sweater, and on the right was purchased to be a scarf for my niece Janet, who goes to school in Washington, D.C. This Christmas Janet asked for a scarf a few days before the holiday, and I originally said no, I don't have the time this year. But, how often does a loved one ask for hand knit stuff? I couldn't resist. I just hope she doesn't lose it! Two balls of Silk Garden make about a 6 foot long scarf, knit on size 8 needles.
