I just finished up a couple of languishing projects. The moebius scarf on the left just needed it's ends woven in. Now that I really need something on the back of my neck, I have some motivation to get to things like that. The one on the right is actually a re-knit. I had knit it all up doing knit stitches on every row. This creates a moebius that is knit on one half and purl on the other. Unfortunately, it curled up in a rather unattractive manner. So I pulled it out last week and re-knit it in a knit 3 rounds, purl 3 rounds fashion which I like much better. The one on the left is knit with two yarns, alternating a skein of handspun (Tanglewood Fiber Creations) that I loved, but didn't have enough to make a whole scarf with, and a skein of Dream in Color.
On the right it's a 100% silk yarn made by Artfibers in San Francisco. It's called Golden Chai and is so soft and dreamy. I think it will be a real favorite. One cool thing was that when I decided to re-knit it, I cut down the number of cast on stitches from 200 to 150. Therefore, I was able to knit this scarf with one skein (plus a little tiny bit from the second for the bind off) so I still have a skein leftover to make something else!
It certainly feels like fall here. I hope you are having a wonderful change of seasons, wherever you are!
