I may have been busy working for the past few weeks, but I’ve still managed to find the time to do a bit of knitting. This is the Crest of the Wave scarf, by Judith Jacobs. You can find it on Ravelry, and the pattern’s free.
I’m knitting it with two different sock yarns. The variegated blue is one of the Kaffe Fasset colours for Regia. (I don’t know which one, as it came to me without a label.) The solid purple is another sock yarn from Opal. The transition between the two isn’t quite as harsh as it looks in this picture – the Kaffe Fasset yarn has just enough of a similar purple shade to blend in. I should have enough left over to knit the other end to match.
This is the first time I’ve tried anything lacy, and I’m really pleased with the way it’s coming out. It’s a twelve row pattern, but four of those rows are garter stitch, so it’s not too difficult to remember. Judging by the pictures on Ravelry I think this will look really nice when it’s been blocked. I’ve got a long way to go before I get to that stage though!
The project bag was a very kind gift from Good To Be Girl, to say thank you for the Liberty print knitting fabric that I sent over to them. It’s the perfect size for this scarf, and it’s pink! With cupcakes! You can see the bags that they made from the knitting fabric amongst their sold items. It looks as though you need to be quick if you want to snap up one of these!
