I finished my second knitted scarf last week. I like it so much that I think I'll rip it out and re-do it. Seriously, I really like the soft, fuzzy, 'hairy' (like mohair) yarn but mostly I LOVE the bright yellow-blue-orange-red variegated color combo. It looks GREAT with my denim jacket and my black Gap vest.
But now that I'm getting a tad better at knitting, all of the mistakes I made on it are jumping out at me. So I think I'll wear it while I knit another one from a second skein of the same yarn. I bought several skeins of several different color combos when they were on sale recently at Hobby Lobby. When I'm thru making my much-better-knit replacement scarf, I'll unravel the first one. And make something else with the yarn! I think I'll use the garter stitch (straight knit) because it knits up so fast.
I started my third scarf last night. It's a future gift for my sister. I struggled a couple of hours and ripped out several beginnings last night but I think I've finally got the hang of the 'seed' stitch. It'll be a narrow 5-inch cream colored scarf. I hope she likes it!
