Lame Knitted Scarves


These two scarves are my first attempts at knitting something other than a sampler. The rust color scarf was done in garter stitch with 2 balls of Berroco Chinchilla yarn. It is super soft and furry. It does a really good job of hiding all of the mistakes I made. The green scarf is from a kit. The kit looked like a big Chinese take-out box with the yarn as noodles and the needles as chop sticks. Unfortunately, the yarn is super bulky and did not fit the 6mm needles. My hands ACHED after knitting! The pattern is a k2 p2 rib and all of my mistakes are very obvious. The super bulky yarn makes it difficult to even wrap the scar around my neck.
