Faux Noro

I love this scarf.
Only I am on a strict yarn budget at the moment.
So I looked in my stash an found some orphans that I thought might do.
And I needed a break from the giant sweater tink of 2009.


The blue is Berroco Romeo 100% Icelandic wool. I love the saturated blue of it. The other is wool as well, but the tag has gone missing.
Inspiration can be found here as well.

Here it is two repeats in...

I wish I had thought to do this

Lifeline in Knitting

I am knitting a men's XL sweater, taking a flat pattern and doing it in the round so that the endless rows of stockinette stitch didn't do me in.
Unfortunately, when I did the shoulder and neckline decreases, I forgot one thing... arm holes.
So now I'm trying to rip back the decreases so I can switch back to flat knitting (I'll place the "front" and "back" on different circulars at that point to create the space for arm holes.

I was so excited to have knit the 27 inches of torso (56" circumference, mind you) that I got a bit ahead of myself.

Lifelines will be installed from now on.
