I bought a fabulous kit at Dye Versions
and then decided against it. I don’t really need a capelet. I decided on a scarf……a simple little scarf. 49 stitches on the needle and just about every time I knit this thing, I had to go back and re-do row 3 at some point……well until I came to the last 28 rows.
For some reason then I had it in my head and finished it up with ease. I had even changed the pattern long before my woes started. Thick in the head is my problem.I made it much longer than what the pattern called for. If we get a cold winter I want to be warm especially around my neck. This is it…….
I have one skein left and hope to make myself a pair of socks. I have grands that love homemade socks, so I think I’ll start with them. I bought the wool last year on PEI so I should do something with it.I didn’t knit the sweater. I bought that as my souvenir a few years ago when we visited our friends Jan and Reg out in Newfoundland. I dragged everyone up and down Water Street looking for a homemade fisherman knit sweater. This was found at Nonia. There were a few shops that had imports from Ireland, but that was definitely not what I wanted.
We bought this too. Instead of keys I use it for my scissors in my sewing room…..
If you enlarge the photo you can see Bridie Molloys…….we ate there. Fabulous food and the lighthouse……went there too, the most easterly point in North America. Gee, I could do a whole column about that holiday
Oh, dear, it was advised to wash and block this scarf, so I did. The colour ran!!! I’m so glad I didn’t have anything else in the water. Can’t say as I like the feel of this bamboo yarn when its wet. I hope its nicer when it dries up.
Just a little PS here. The scarf feels terrific now that it is dry. I have more yarn and I’ll have to figure out what to do with it. I had problems with my hands when I was finished and I’m not sure if it is the bamboo or what. I’ve never had this happen before.
