The knitting and stashbusting as been continuing at my house. Straight after I finished the midnight baby blanket I cast on this awesome scarf.
Pattern: Pencil Scarf by Zakka Life
Yarn: Marvel Basics 8ply (yellow), Carnival Soft 8ply (grey), Beige & Black unknown brands 8ply.
Needles: 5mm
Date Started: 18th July 2011
Date Ended: 30th July 2011
I used 2 balls of yellow yarn that were sitting in my stash and a little bit of each of the other colours from my stash too. So I have now used up 6 balls from the stash. I still have a few more projects up my sleeve to get this stash busting happening.
I made a few slight modifications to this pattern. Here is what I did....
CO 2
Inc 1 stitch at the beginning of each row until 7 stitches.
Knit 1 row.
Change to beige
Knit as instructed in pattern. After increasing to 28 stitches knit 1 row before swapping to yellow.
Knit yellow as per pattern
Knit grey as per pattern.
Add 1 extra decrease row into pink before binding off.
I think this scarf would make the perfect gift for a teacher, journalist or writer. It is so cute and quirky. I love it!
Bahahahaha! That is so cool & funny; reminds me of a rubber pencil I had as a kid - man did I think I was hilarious. ;)
