Black scarf

This is the new scarf I've done for my brother. Hope he likes it. I got this pattern from Knitting daily. It was designed By Ann Budd and originally published on Knitting daily, Fall 2004. Thank you Ann Budd.  this is what she say's about this scarf  pattern “I love long, narrow scarves. For this scarf I cast on just enough stitches to work a single balanced repeat of the Double Basket Pattern from Barbara Walker’s Treasury of Knitting, and repeated the 18-row pattern until I used up two balls of yarn. The interplay of horizontal and vertical ribs produces an undulating, curved effect that adds complicated texture to the relatively simple stitch pattern.”  Its a basket weave pattern and reversible scarf. Its a very easy pattern though it seems to be tough. Here is the link for this pattern. You need to signin to view the pattern.

Another scarf pattern

Hi Friends,

Thank you Nalini for giving me a chance to teach you. Here is the photograph of your scarf.

Some of my Knitting Bits

I have been Knitting some Scarfs since last November. I would like to share my experiences and my work.

I wanted to knit a scarf for my husband. I didn't know how much wool is needed to knit a scarf, and in what pattern to knit. I just went and got 2 bundles of wool in dark blue color. Then I started surfing the internet for the patterns. I came across the site "straw.com". There are a lot of free patterns for scarfs, hats, mittens, pullovers etc available. I selected a
Big Cable Scarf pattern. I bought a Cable needle and started Knitting it. I went out of thread as well it was a time consuming job. So I completed it half way, It was too short so my husband told he won't wear it. Here is the picture of the scarf .



Next I was thinking to knit another scarf for him. This time I thought I should do it perfectly, then I went and got 5 bundles of wool. Then I selected a wave pattern(not my own) and knitted it. But I don't remember the exact site from which I took this pattern. But when I come to know the site I'll post it. But there are a lot of different patterns available in this site. Here is the picture of the scarf which I had knitted for the second time.



This time he had another reason. On seeing the scarf he told me that it looks like a Ladies scarf and I don't want it. But I don't want to give it up. This time there was a sale in town, I went and got lots of threads. This time I should knit him a scarf I thought and took it as a vow. I went for a very simple Ribbed scarf in dark green color. It came out very well. At last he accepted it and now he is using it regularly. I feel Happy whenever I see him wearing the scarf. After six long years of married life, for the first time, I have made something specially for him. Here is the picture of the scarf.



Next I'm planning to knit a scarf for my brother. At last I'm going to fulfill his wish I think :).
I wish to thank all of them, who have posted their free knitting patterns. They are really useful for a beginner like me. It helps me in developing my own creativity.
I hope you have enjoyed these posts. Thank you for stopping at my blog and reading all my stories. Don't forget to post a comment.

Thanks and Regards
Savitha
