    Default Knitting a Scarf - Wish Me Luck

    So, I'm knitting dd a scarf for Christmas. The yarn is a cool, rainbow color and I think she's going to love it. It's looking a little messy right now, but hopefully it will straighten out as I go. Wish me luck!

    You can do it, Amy! All of my knitting looks a little 'rough' when I start, but after a few rows, it looks better.

    I'm sure it will come out great, and she will it.

    What pattern are you doing? I really need to continue...I get really into it and then get distracted by other things How long have you been knitting?

    Michelle...pattern? There's a pattern I'm supposed to use???

    I'm not sure...I'm just knitting like it showed me in the little knitting handbook I picked up. No purling. I know that. The yarn is rainbow dyed, so as I knit, it's creating a nice rainbow effect.

    They were throwing away some yarn here at camp and I resuced it...a really pretty subdued green that blends into some other colors. I'll be using that to knit a scarf for my Mom as well.

    Have to say...I'm LOVING it!

    Good luck Amy!

    I'm still working on a scarf that I started just before Christmas last year. Of course, I'm using skinny sock yarn to make it so it's taking forever...
