Hello!
Remember that I was looking for something simple to knit alongside more challenging projects? Simple stocking stitch socks are my usual mindless knitting projects, but variety being the spice of life, I want something different from time to time. Looking for inspiration and materials for a simple scarf, shawl or wrap in a yarn shop, I couldn’t find anything that spoke to me. And then it occurred to me that I already had most of the ingredients at home!
Through the years I’ve knit many, many pairs of simple socks for family members, friends and myself. From every pair of socks there is always a small quantity of yarn left over. I’ve used some of these to make Soothing Sachets, Gift Leaves and an earrings-and-pendant set. These small projects didn’t even make a dent in my sock yarn remnant stash, though, and I’ve still got more than enough for several larger projects.
I’d already been knitting some slip-stitch swatches and knit some more using sock yarns, using the simplest of slip stitch patterns combined with garter and stocking stitch. I experimented with many different edge stitches, too.
That will be a lovely and cheerful scarf! I think as an homage to the seven Ss in the name of your pattern you might call it Seventh Heaven Scarf! I love the photos from your garden too! Nature has a way of putting colors together!
Thats a great name – thank you! Knitting with all these different colours is fun.
Your euphorbias are so pretty especially with the grape hyacinths.
Looking forward to seeing your scarf in progress and also completed. Great idea.
It’ll probably take while before it’s finished, but it’s all about enjoying the process. I’ll post pictures from time to time.
Een zonnige zaterdag en jouw blog.
Fijn begin van de dag 💚
