Nubby Scarves

My knitting skills are basic. In fact, I taught myself how to knit using diagrams in a book. I'm sure what I do is some sort of bastard, hybridization of left-handed and right-handed knitting. All I know is that is works.

I struck gold when I stumbled upon Lion Brand Homespun yarn. One skein of this yarn creates a simple yet striking scarf. The results? Lots of Oooos and Ahhhhs.

The pattern couldn't be easier. Cast 23 stitches onto 10.5 needles. Do a seed stitch (K1, P1) for the entire row. Repeat until the end of the skein and cast off. Weave in the ends of the yarn.

Once I get into a rhythm, I don't have to even look at what I'm doing. It's very meditative and relaxing. Obviously, I plan on making lots of scarves. The top photo only shows some of my yarn stash.

The yarn with the color gradient really makes the scarf extra interesting. This particular color is called Parfait.

If you already know how to knit and are looking for something quick and easy to do, I highly recommend this pattern. If you don't know how to knit, sorry. I can't teach you. But I can send you a scarf. Of course, it might be July by the time I'm finished!
