The scarf is finished!
Saturday, June 04, 2005
I just finished the scarf I was making for my mom. I'm quite pleased with it, even though the stitch has a tendency to stretch more on one side than the other. I'm not sure how I would counteract that in the future, but at this point I've done Indian Cross Stitch about as much as I'm interested in doing it. This scarf started out with two repeats of the pattern, but was too short and I thought perhaps too heavy, so I re-did it.
The yarn is JoAnn's Sensations Catalina. I don't think I'll be knitting with it again in the future. In the small +/- 60 yard ball I found 2 knots and it seems to show wear very quickly. There are places where the silky parts of the yarn seem to be fuzzing after only knitting it up. And the price was only about $1 or so less per ball than similar Paton's or Lion Brand yarns. I don't think its a bargain in any case.
That's all for now. I don't think I'll be updating while I'm visiting family in PA, but I hope to have lots of knitting done when I get home and I'll try to get wip pics.

Dear Lesley,

Cool, another knitter in SC!!! I love that scarf even if you didn't give it rave reviews. I want to try one. Where did you get the pattern? Anyway, I think it looks fab-u-luss :)
Love, ALi
