[…] time. I thought I would get a lot of knitting done, but that was not the case. I worked on a WIP for M, and I started an entirely new sock for myself. I have single socks and partial socks all over the […]

I love the stitch pattern in M’s scarf! I may have to give that a try sometime. My current “patchwork” scarf is not reversible, which is annoying. The socks look lovely, but I’m partial to blues so I may be biased. I plan to read some knitting technique books over the summer, so I’m glad to hear it’s worth it.

Did I miss where you described your old and new way of tensioning? I’m intrigued!

That’s a great scarf! Have you considered submitting it to the Barbara Walker Project? Has that stitch already been done there?

I’m with you on the tensioning stuff. I recently taught myself a different way to purl and it makes a big difference. Love the new socks. How is the Regia cotton to work with? The scarf is really interesting too. Are you going to block it or not?

That’s a lovely scarf! Looks like it will turn out nicely, either blocked or unblocked. Also, that means that after some wear it won’t need blocking again right away, should you choose the block-it option.

So what’s the difference in your tensioning? English vs. Continental, or something more complicated than that? I tried Norwegian Purling, and while I admittedly need more practice on it before I’ve really “got” it, I found that my tension was looser that way. And I didn’t like the looseness, so we’ll see if I improve with practice.

Congrats on switching over to a new tensioning. That’s hard work– I had to do that when I first started knitting 🙂

It’s interesting the difference in the two ways of “finishing” the scarf. Which one do you prefer?

Ooh, I like the chevron-iness of the scarf. Also, who is going to argue with a reversible scarf in a color so pleasant as green? No one!

Brenda- That’s a good idea- set yourself a time limit for the SSS- it may just work.

You’ve been very busy, and we’d love to see the finished Aran Shawl.
