gimmee a WOO gimmee a HOO
WooHoo! An FO! A weekend FO! This little scarf has been in the making since last year –
It seems like every once in awhile, on a weekend, I get a bug. The Startitis Bug. The Bug that will not let you go until you get something on the needles – something that probably will not ever get off the needles unless you catch the Other Bug.
The Finishing Bug.
I admit it. I’m a Clothes Whore. I LOVE NEW CLOTHES! So when I gleaned the Work Basket (ahem, my whole House) and found this half-finished scarf a few days ago, I just couldn’t resist. Problem was, the original was not knit right – so it was frogged, started as a Grinda Scarf, frogged again (!) and NOW has attained its rightful place – Around My Neck…
I love new clothes…
28 stitch MultiDirectional Scarf
Designer: Karen Baumer
Yarn: Noro *Kureyon* – 2 balls
Color: ??? – this is what happens when you have Startitis
Needles: #10
Congratulations!! It must be in the air. I finished two scarves-in-progress myself today.
Fabulous, and it IS scarf weather. I have a real weakness for those multi-directional scarves and just bought some Lorna’s Laces worsted to do one.
Nice!!! I want to make that. Maybe after my trillion other things I want to make?
I was running around the last couple of days in freezing temps with just a turtleneck, heavy sweater, down vest, AND taduh, a scarf to Seal the Deal…
I truly believe The Scarf is the Key to being comfortable with less…
Not to mention the BURST of COLOR around one’s face… :PPPPP
Lovely scarf! What made you frog the Grinda? I’m curious, as I have one in the works.
That is so pretty! The color changes of the Kureyon work so well with that pattern. Subtley interesting.
Ms. Grinda: it just didn’t look how I expected it to in this colourway…
I will be making it in the near future out of some other yarn (TBA StashOmat)…
It is such a lovely, unusual pattern – can’t wait to see yours, Sarah! :)
Hey, I have that pattern. Now that I see yours, I’ll be finally knitting it up. I had startitis even before I got the thing on the needles. Now, I’ve got got-to-start-it-itis! Very nice!
Wow, I’m working on a multidirectional scarf now, with some Fiesta La Boheme. Its color effect is different but also fun. Yay MD scarves! AKA Dr. Scarf. There, I said it.
Sorry to miss the KIP! I was at work late. I do want to come again. Hope you had fun!
Off to try to catch your Finishing Bug!
Woooo hoooooooooooo! F-A-B!
Now you inspire me to finish a few of my own knits, already. I love me some new duds :-)
AHA! Something to do with those extra skeins of Kureyon!
Thanks so much!
Now, if I could just figure out how to do it on my LK150! LOL!
Love it, Bonne Marie! I have some yarns in the ol’ stash that this pattern would be perfect for!
