As I mentioned before, himself will keep referring to alpaca as ‘Al Fresco’, ‘Al Capone’, and ‘Al Pacino’, and so I knitted him his own al pacino scarf.
I bought a packet of different coloured alpaca roving from sallypointer.com for himself for as a Christmas present, and he carefully divided the colours, spun it up going from colour to colour, then repeated with the other half of the roving, and then plied it. The result was a blend from colour to colour, as inevitably there was some length of both colours plied together.
Now I am well enough to return to knitting, I have finished this scarf and he is very happy with it. Its lovely and soft.
So to add something new, and it’s going to be the moebius scarf. Nothing like a bit of weird impossible mathematical knitting to addle an already confused brain…
As a non-knitter, I had been wondering how to crochet a moebius. After a serious amount of surfing I finally found someone who had more gumption than me to explain how to do it. So for yule all and sundry received moebius scarves. I love the way they curve and curl around your neck. Try folding one flat to put away! Glad you are feeling well enough to get back to some crafting.
thanks Kate. yes the moebius scarf is proving fun to knit.. although it was very awkward in the first couple of rounds as there was little room to move the needles.. I suspect crochet is easier in this way.
