Greens


Scarf; cotton, linen, angora; stockinette stitch with seed stitch border; size US 5 vintage plastic double pointed needles, 10 in.

This is what I am carrying in my tote bag every day, knitting on the bus. The lighter yarn is cotton and linen and the darker yarn is cotton and angora.  It's my stockinette version of the alternating rows pattern as explained using garter stitch by Britt-Marie Christoffersson in Pop Knitting

Finished circle scarf



Angora collar or circle scarf, size 4 16 in and size 7 16 in cable needles rib edges with stockinette stitch body

I found the USB cable for my camera!

So here is the circle scarf I discussed in the previous entry. I have a photo of a version of it on Nov. 28. I ripped all that out and started on smaller needles. I think the result is much more attractive.

In the studio



Collar, Angora, size 8 cable needle, 16 in. rib stitch

Like the black mohair, this yarn warmed my fingers as I knit it. In spite of the fluff, it's very well behaved and I do love the feel of it going through my fingers. It's a little bit too big in circumference, so I'm thinking about taking it out and starting over or putting a button on it so that it can be tightened. I supposed I could do the same thing with an interestingly placed draw string.
