Knitting hugs for special people
I have had little time for knitting these las weeks, but as always, there is some work going on. My UFOs are still waiting patiently, I had to do some emergency gifts. My son has three lovely teachers whom we really would like to thank for theit patient work this year. I decided to knit something for them, and thought that scarves would be nice for autumn when he's not coming back to hug them. I thought I would create three different scarves using the same yarn. I took three balls of a merino/acrylic blend I had in my boxes and dyed them using German egg dye. Yes, I will move on to more serious stuff one day. Only not this day and year...
This is what the skeins looked like while still wet.
Here is the dry, lighter end result. I have finished scarf 1, a small moebius with some twinkly beads/pearls at the edges.
Scarf 2 is reversible and cabled, and I realised that it needs two balls of yarn to be long enough.
Teacher number 3 will get something entirely different, but still knitted. Double-knitted panholders in a pattern close to the famous Mason Dixon washrag. The cotton I had was too thin, that's why I'm knitting it double.
Time is running out, school ends 7/7 and I have a lot of other things to do. Clickety click, all night.
