...when my sweet
sister posted about a scarf that she loved...well...what's a knitting sister going to do...
...well...of course...she's going to knit one for her sweet sister right?...only in the colourway 'Canyon'...which suits my sissie better...
...I couldn't find the Starbella yarn locally...so I searched Ravelry yarn and sent a message and got some from someone else's stash...how cool is that...
...at first I was having a really hard time with the loops...I was laying down the knitted piece...finding my stitch...putting it on the needle...then finding the next loop and then knitting that stitch off the left hand needle...
...and then I had the brainstorm to find all of the loops first...so I picked those all up and put them on a big size 15 needle...
...then I just knitted them off of that by transfering the stitch to the left hand needle and then knitting it off the right hand needle...it worked perfectly and I didn't have to fiddle with the loops as I was knitting...
...oh and definitely use a double pointed needle...
...sweet photo of my sissie...I'm so happy she likes the scarf!
Happy Birthday to my Sissie!
~Have a lovely day!
