A Quick Knit!


I finished a cabled scarf this morning, and I can't wait to knit some mittens to match. This pattern was truly a fun and quick knit. Thanks, Becky, for the pattern. She always finds the best patterns, but, unfortunately, she doesn't have a blog to show off all of her beautiful knitting.

Vital Statistics:
Born: Feb. 25, 2007
Pattern: Keep It Simple, Cabled Scarf, by Barbara Selesnick
Needles: Size US 11
Yarn: Knit Picks Panache. Color: Cinnamon.

Of course, I couldn't follow the pattern exactly as written; I made just a few minor alterations. I casted on 32 stitches instead of 30, and I knitted a seed stitch border instead of garter. I also didn't attach any fringe.

Hope everyone has a wonderful week of knitting and/or spinning! Toodles....

Of course you picked a spicy color, you spicy lady. LOL. I love it. It looks warm, soft, and perfect for keeping the cold winds away.

Another beautiful job!
