Alpha Cable Scarf

Cable Detail
Originally uploaded by Ltlmz

I've been teaching myself new stitches. This is my first attempt of a cable knit. I'm using my stash of yarn and making a scarf with it. I'm pretty happy so far. Although I have learned that changing colors where you have a cable is not the best idea.

Because I changed colors in the center of the scarf, I actually rolled up two balls of the sea foam green to prevent tangling.

Here's my progress so far:





Unfortunately, I think I might run out of yarn before I run out of scarf--it might turn into a scarflet.

Greetings and Salutations

Welcome! I'll start posting my WIPs and projects, both finished and frogged. I've been knitting for a couple of years. I usually knit to gauge, which is nice. I'm mainly knit O.P.P. (Other People's Patterns), but I'm starting to feel comfortable adjusting to create a project I love. I'm hoping to start designing some patterns.

Here's one of my favorite finished projects from Hannah Fettig's Closely Knit, the Cashmere Ruffles Scarf.


I'll check in soon with future projects.
