Knitting Club

Pattern: One Row Scarf by the Yarn Harlot

Yarn:Malabrigo Merino in Paris Nights, 1.3 skeins

Needles: US 8

Notes: Rarely do I repeat a pattern - I suffer far too often in my queue to find the demand for any repeats!  This is the second scarf I have made from this pattern, and it is officially my favorite.  I put on one repeat more than the form called for, and I knit to about 5 feet long  - long enough to double up,but not too long to endure under shorter coats.  I do feel that the model makes my fingers tired, but it makes up for that by being really quick once you get started.  The yarn (of course) is super yummy, and if I could manage I would knit only with Malabrigo in the future!

Pattern: Calorimetry

Yarn: Leftover Malabrigo from my one row scarf

Needle: US 6

Notes: Now I’m not the just one who hasn’t made one!  I made significant mods.  I put on 92 stitches and repeated row five 10 times.  It fits my large head perfectly!  It’s surprisingly warm, and I can’t think I finally own a matched set - I usually clash horribly all winter!

Actual color is someplace in betwixt the two here - less purple than the last photo, but lighter than the two above.

I hope everyone is having a happy halloween - we just handed out candy for the start time here, and I talked to a few parents in the region about piano lessons for their children.  Pirates seemed the most popular costume.  I’m sad that my perennial childhood costume, the hobo, seems to have died off.  Every year I wore my Mom’s army jacket and carried a bundle tied to a stick.  It wasn’t imaginitive, but it didn’t involve sewing!

We were invited to a party, but I’m thinking we’re going to jump out - Marc has to provide town tomorrow, and I’m tired today after a meeting last night that lasted til nearly 10 pm.  Ah well… many halloweens to come!
