This is a long term project, with a goal of having every square use a different pattern by use of stitch dictionaries and improvising. There will be a total of about 10 different colors in the same family for the squares, and then each square will have a knitted border around them in another color….
swatched personal footprint concept on a single toe and didn’t like yarn. switched to yarn I liked, 2-at-a-time and one of the patterns further in the book that caught my eye as easy but not too hard to follow while setting up my footprint. yeah, yeah, I coulda done a plain version first, but you…
Cast on during Rhinebeck trip. Did additional repeats of 3rd tier with 3 colors. Purple edging is only 1 3/4” long.
I started out with size 7 needle and k1p1 knit and it was too dense so I switched to size 10 and it was perfect. I taught myself to knit continential with this scarf. When gifting this, I made a flower to tie it up, and that turned out very pretty.
This lovely fiber was gifted by my friend Whitney. Spun on Wanda, my Hansen Minispinner Preparation end to end Construction chain ply Weight Worsted Grist WPI
used the rest of my sock yarn to make a wrap bracket. mostly 5-stitch I-cord with a cool crochet chain (thicker by sc in each previous stitch) at the end and a loop for easier wearing. couldn’t let my fav colorway go to waste even though the socks were done!
