Well....here it is: the "Boyfriend Scarf" from Last Minute Knitted Gifts. I substituted the recommended yarn (Classic Elite Forbidden) with Debblie Bliss Superchunky Cashmerino in Chocolate. The pattern was a bit tedious (I've decided no more scarves in the near future), but I do love the way it turned out. The really nice part about it is that it is a waffle knit, so the two sides are different, but harmonious.
I'm even tempted to say that I like the "wrong side" better.
I'll be making this post viewable after Christmas so it's a suprise for my husband.
It looks very handsome, but I have a question based on other reports concerning this scarf...Did you find that the scarf had a tendency to curl on the edges?
Properly practiced, knitting soothes the troubled spirit, and it doesn't hurt the untroubled spirit either.
When I say properly practiced, I mean executed in a relaxed manner, without anxiety, strain, or tension, but with confidence, inventiveness, pleasure, and ultimate pride....
Loose knitting tends to make your stitches look more uneven, but what of it? Are you trying to reproduce a boughten machine-made sweater?
