It has to go!!


I bought this yarn.  No idea why.  I don't care for it.  I have already knitted a baby blanket out of it but still I have balls of it left

                                                                                        

I've opted to knit up a cowl and it will be one you can wrap around your neck twice. I prefer them long.
Cast on 26 stitches and I'm using a 8MM needle.  I'm also using three strands of yarn because this yarn is fine. 
Here's the pattern:
©Row 1:  **K2 stitches, K2 twisted.**  Repeat from ** to ** with K2 to finish the row.  Check the photo below and twisted actually means to knit into the back of the knit stitch.  It's very easy to do.
©Row 2:  **K2 stitches, Purl 2 stitches.**  Repeat from ** to ** with K2 to finish
These two rows are repeated for 42 inches.  If you want to make it longer, you can but I wouldn't go beyond 48 inches


Confession Time
This started off as one pattern and after 20 inches of knitting, and the scarf "rolling" on the edges, I pulled it out and started over.  You will see one scarf in the photo above and another from now on.  This pattern is posted above 


𝅘𝅥𝅱The yarn has got to go, The yarn has got to go𝅘𝅥𝅰................so knitting every evening I finally achieved my goal.





I added a ball of Prism from Mary Maxim to the Bernat Softee and even after these I still had some Softee left, soooooo








I cast on 23 stitches and did one pattern for the headband and another for the centre.  What the heck.  I just designed as I knitted along.  It was done by the time I went to bed but I wanted to get this up and posted.  The yarn is gone.
