Touch My Basketweave
I love this scarf. Muench Touch Me has utterly ruined my hand. I fondled some Handmaiden Camelspin in my stash and it actually felt a little rough. This poor yarn has been through a lot, too. At first, the lavender was this:
Which was supposed to be this. I was going to make three elephants for my two friends and I as a sign of friendship. They were supposed to be touched by the offering and some sort of glowing Hallmark moment was to happen. This project was doomed from the beginning, I had the most horrible time doing just the legs!
I tried garter stitch. Nope, too heavy as it is. Basketweave was just right. But then, something horrible started to happen. I thought, I can't go on! This scarf needs a light blue, a primary red...cream! I got the yarn half off and even then its a mighty expensive scarf. I'm still getting my hot pink, red, lavender, light blue and cream scarf one day. Just not in Touch Me.
By the way, February was my one year anniversary of knitting. I can't believe its only been that long but man I do love feeling so productive! I'm not tired of making scarves and plan on making many more this year. Maybe I can finish a sweater, too.
