I thought that since I don’t have anything actually finished right now I would post the progress I am making on another scarf as a gift.
It is a really funky yarn and while it isn’t difficult to work with it is time consuming. It is a Red Heart Yarn called Fizzle.
You need to sort of separate the two strands of wool and only use the top “loop” to knit with. Like I said, not difficult, just time consuming.
Here is a picture of the wool. I put an arrow where the top loop is to show you what I mean.
The scarf is knit on Size 10 knitting needles and worked over only 3 stitches. The instructions on the wrapper stated it would end up being 60 inches long when completed.
I think I might have about 15 – 18 inches done so far so I am about a quarter of the way there. I should have it done in a few days and then move on to the turquoise colour!
It sort of reminds me of a poodle lol. I am pretty certain that when Kim sees that I am working on a PURPLE scarf she will try to stake a claim on it!
I will update with pictures once they are both completed!

How many thousands of people are on your Christmas gift list? I tried using some of those funky yarns and ended up in all sorts of a mess 😦 Even crocheting I managed to drop stitches! WTF?!!!!

Just a few thousand!
The yarn is a bit of a pain to use. If it twists even a little bit it can mess the whole thing up. I don’t think I would even attempt anything other than a scarf with it. I think trying to crochet with it would be even worse!
