Stockholm Scarf (pattern through Ravelry)
The hat for bf is finished, and I'm liking that circular needle stuff, so a bigger project is imminent.
And again, Ravelry was my inspiration. I found a great, big, warm scarf, seamless, easy to remember pattern, so perfect for little ol' me :p
But the bf-beanie is coming to aliking by his mother (and my mother-in-low-to-be or something, so let's just call her Mima, like everyone in the family) and she drops the hint that I may make her something like that.
But I have my mind set on the scarf, so I'm making that one. If it's good enough and she likes it, she can have it with all the love I'll put into it (and I'm making it thus with her in mind).
Grrrrr, only problem, again: casting on and counting!!!
The casting-on part works like a charm (I love my all-purpose cast-on which nobody seems to know), but I keep having to count and recount the number of stitches.
And after finally having cast on the right amount and having knitf a couple of rounds: problem! It seems I have twisted the stitches! GRRRRRRRR!!!! Pull out, start over... Counting, recounting, casting on further, counting, recounting, recounting, recounting, casting on further, counting, recounting..... and so on. Very, very, very closely following stitches around the (a bit too short cabled circular) needle and join! Start pattern again, and we're off for a good start this time.
Hey!
This pattern IS very easy to remember! And very easy to follow and fix mistakes, even in the previous row!
And yes, the skiing trip is over, the scarf is not finished yet, but it's coming along great!

And yes! After the trip and in between busy workingdays, I managed it! My very first scarf is finished! I actually did the full 14 inch of the pattern! And it turned out beautifull! Just have to finish of sowing in the loose thread.
I can't wait to show it to Mima and hope she likes it and will accept it as gift. Maybe I can make a accompaniing (is that a word) hat and even maybe some gloves with a likewise pattern I found???

Finally saw an opportunity to present the scarf to Mima... Anti-climax: she has allready way too many scarfs. A hat of some sort would be great, though! I'll know what project to start next!
