knitting fool...



I'm a knitting fo-oo-oo-ool (to the Frank Zappa tune "Dancing Fool")

So I finished the last experiment and did the "binding off" (another first) and it came out okay so..... I am starting fresh!

So the big question- which one is the front? I am just winging it. A row or two knit. A row or two purl.
I think it's looking pretty cool. A litle more consistent with the sizing ans such.

Did I mention why I started with this new "interest"?
A year ago I watched a woman knitting up a gorgeous scarf in a waiting room(a long wait waiting room) . I wanted to do that. I think it's a bit more portable for this pampered cross stitcher to have another thing to do while on the go.
The other reason- to make scarves for my kids. Who, like me, are allergic to a bunch of yarns. Anything wool is a huge no-no. And even a bunch of the synthetics are irritating to our skin as well (scratchity, scratchity). So last year (after I saw that woman) I started picking up yarn here and there. Real cheap clearance type stuff. Some really nice chenilles and other real softie yarns. So maybe another experiment or two and I'll do it for real I think.

In the second pic, you can see your front!
Of course, for a scarf it doesn't matter, but if it were a sweater or a hat, the second would be the side you would show people.

It's looking great - now start the kiddies' scarves... ;)
