Out of all the crafty pursuits out here, there is one that has always eluded me – knitting. I love the idea of it and I can see why people enjoy it, but it was always a source of frustration for me. My Great Aunt and my Nana both would try to teach me whenever I asked, but every attempted scarf ended up getting just long enough to make a small dishtowel before I gave up. I would drop stitches, pick up extra stitches, completely forget the patterns.

We knitted through that holiday season and sometime last January it got tucked away with the Christmas stuff and I completely forgot about it…until I found it this year! I pulled it back out, practiced a few stitches and then got to work.

Once the scarf started to get long, I would check the length by wrapping it around my neck twice and looking in a mirror to see how it was sitting. In the end I made it 72″ long.

Beautiful!!!
Thanks Fay!
I love infinity scarves, beautiful Amanda!
Oooh yay! I love knitting and knitted things. This particular stitch pattern you have even has a name – it’s called Seed Stitch! I love the soft, bumpy texture seed stitch creates, it really is one of my favorites 🙂
Happy knitting! If you get hooked and are interested in finding patterns, you should check out Ravelry! http://www.ravelry.com/
Thanks for letting me know about the seed stitch – I had no idea! I’ll update the post. I just checked out Ravelry – very cool! Thanks for sharing.
Also stopped by your blog. Your pets are so cute! 🙂
