Banana silk scarf

Remember the banana silk yarn I received as gift a while back? I finally cast it on, ancdvery quickly cast it off too, as it knits up really quick!

 

I made the Juicy banana silk scarf (Ravelry link) and even though it calls for two hanks of the yarn, I managed very well with just one, I just left the tassels off and made the scarf a bit shorter - I reckon it measures two meters. I made it with 8mm needles.

Knits, and a new hair

I have been knitting a lot, but I finishing little... Lately I've been starting a thing every couple of days, and the WIPs are starting to fill the place up! I have finished some small things, though, like another pair of preemie socks and a scarf.

 

The socks are 28 stitches around, with a short row heel, and 2,5 mm needles. The yarn is Lana Grossa Meileinweit Magico, the first ever sock yarn I bought!

Another fun scarf

I'm stash busting this year, and the quickest, funnest way I can do that is knitting funky scarves. I have made many of these already, with different yarns and needle sizes, and while I had nothing really easy to knit on Friday (I wanted just something really really easy!) I started a new scarf. I finished it on Sunday. Here it is.

Stash busting scarf FO

To knit from the stash - in which there is a lot of tiny amounts of acrylic novelty yarns - I developed this fun scrap scarf: basically knitting stripes longways across the scarf, and making up the sequence as I go along.

 

I originally made one for a Christmas present, and it was such a fun bit of easy knitting, I made another one, which I finished today.

Experimenting with eyelash

Yesterday I went to the library and decided to visit the nearby shopping centre, and wandered to a everything-for-cheap shop. Guess what I found there? You got it – novelty yarns, four balls for five euro. I resisted the urge and bought only four balls of “Shabby Chic” yarn in black; a pretty, soft eyelash yarn. With it I was planning to make a triangular funky shawl.
