New Project-Originally posted on 15Feb07





I started a new project last night. A scarf to match the Calorimetry head scarf from Knitty.com that I made last weekend. The Calorimetry was a quick knit and alot of fun to see come together.



I did it in Paton's Classic Wool Merino - the colors are gorgeous in a varieagated called Rosewood. I was so excited to see it come together I couldn't stop knitting. It didn't truly appear until I bound it off and then you could see the shape form almost like magic.I had done 2X2 rib before in scarves but had never worked short rows and didn't know if I was doing it quite right but it turned out great and was soooo easy. This was my first felted project and I was a bit skeptical if I would like it after felting but it is wonderful.As you can see I didn't let the felting go all the way as I wanted some of the stitch lines to still be visible so I cheated and took it out before the process was complete. I really like the way it came out and decided I should make a matching scarf using the 2X2 ribbing.



Pictures of the scarf in progress in the days to come.
