For the last week or two I have seen a lady knitting away on the train of an evening making scarves and each day she has been knitting a different colour. Monday evening I sat across from her and we got chatting - she showed me the yarn she was using and explained that it was all garter stitch and only 7 stiches to a row.
I had a day off Wednesday and after sorting out the car (reason for day off) I wandered over to Barleylands as I was sure I had seen the yarn at Craft Arena. I was very lucky, I got the last two balls (enough for two scarves) and the lovely Denise also showed me how to cast on using this funny yarn and provided a project sheet showing how to work with this yarn.
Wednesday evening I sat down with this and by bedtime I had this...
...a finished loopy scarf.I was lucky that the only colour Denise had left was shades of brown as this matches my coat. However, I know it comes in some beautiful shades so hopefully I can get some more........................
