Finished Object-Scarf-Close To You

Pattern: Close To You by Justyna Lorkowska
Yarn: Queensland Uluru (as color A) and HiKoo CoBaSi (as color B)
Needle: size 6 circular

The only pattern modification was making it for two colors. I used B for the eyelet row and the 3 rows following it. On each eyelet row, it begins with BO 8 stitches. Rather than cut Color A each time and attach Color B, I chose to bind off those stitches using both yarns, and carry the non-working yarn up the side.

This pattern was super-easy to memorize and thus a pleasurable carry-about knitting project.

About halfway through, it became clear to me that this scarf was not going to be for me, and soon I knew just who it was for. I'm packing it up this week to make a journey to a dear friend. Meanwhile, I have started another.  We'll see if I get to keep this one!

Improvisational Knitting-Finished Scarf No. 2

It's so so soft!
After I finished knitting it, I randomly wove in  beautiful golden sari silk ribbon.

Finished: Kusha Kusha

Finished this the other day.
The Kusha Kusha scarf made with Habu Textiles' silk stainless steel and fine merino yarns. I used a dark purply merino and navy silk stainless.

 Finished scarf before felting.

 Part where the merino & silk stainless ends and you start knitting only with the silk stainless.

 That same part after felting (and I decided to felt heavily.)

The whole scarf, drying. It will be like wearing a sculpture, I think.
