I cracked open my Mirasol collection book to work on this scarf pattern.
I'm fairly certain this yarn, with shades of brown, green, yellow & muted orange, will go lovely with my brown winter jacket. I have enough to complete a scarf, hat and perhaps even some fingerless gloves. The only problem is I'm not enjoying the stitch in this pattern so the knitting is going excruciatingly slow. The stitches are primarily a switch between knit and purl at different intervals over 12 rows.
I can't quite figure out what it is about this pattern because it works up in a nice diagonal. Perhaps it's just a case of stitch boredom? I hate to put it that way as I'm still a long way off from the end. I need some fresh love for "Juan" so that I can get this scarf done before winter ends.
Today is Remembrance Day here so the hubby is off work and we are heading to a family gathering to celebrate a few fall birthdays. I'll take Juan with me and see if I can knock a few more rows off this evening. Have a lovely day. xoxo
the knitting is lovely, I am always impressed by anyone who can follow a pattern, I can just about manage row after row of plain knitting.xx
