Project in Progress

Just a quick post to share with you one of the (many) projects that are currently in progress. This one is another scarf I am knitting, you can see the first knitted scarf in my previous post Past Projects, here - http://craftingmyjourney.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/past-projects.html

This second scarf has also been in progress for more than a year, but I have set myself a target to be finished by Christmas. Not necessarily to give it as a gift, although I may well do, just so I have a target to work towards. Scarves are a rather boring thing to make after a while, so I need that extra bit of motivation!

Here is the scarf as it is now:

 Please excuse the mess in the background! I will get around to cleaning any day now, honest ;-).

This scarf is pretty much the inverse of the first one, even made using the same needles (they are a size 6, which have a diameter of 5mm, this seems to be ideal). This scarf is slightly narrower than the original, being only 40 stitches wide rather than 50 - after seeing the other one finished I decided that I could loose a bit on the width in the hope that it wouldn't take quite as long to make! I have been doing 40 rows in green, followed by 10 rows in the cream colour,using only garter stitch. I will finish this scarf with a few tassels of the cream colour on each end :) When it is done, I will be sure to show you all!

Bye for now, S x
