More Geek Love

The cliff I jumped off this time wasn't as high since I'd already done double knitting once before. I had some issues getting the chart to look the way I wanted so the Deception symbol would show up as accurate as possible but luckily I got a friend to help tweak that a bit.

I find that the hardest part for me is the parts where you have to knit for $inches. That seems to always be the part where I have the most trouble keeping my focus. If I know I have x rows left then it's a bit easier.  

Anyhow, I finished the scarf and I'm really happy with how it looks. Huge thanks to my husband for being willing to go stand in the sun in 90 degree weather while I drape wool around him and take pictures.

The pattern is now live and available for purchase, . It includes detailed instructions on double knitting, binding off one color while continuing in the other, and grafting knits to purls.

Let Your Geek Flag Fly

I've called it fearless knitting before. Somebody will ask me if I can knit something for them and I reply with an enthusiastic YES! ... and then my brain kicks in and reminds me that I have no clue how to do such a thing.

It doesn't seem to stop me though. Oh it slows me down a bit as I poke around at things and see what I can find instruction wise to do what I need. But my determination never changes. I end up with some of the most amazing things because of that determination to get what I want.

The scarf is just one of them. *wink* Many thanks to my wonderful husband for playing model for me.

The pattern is now live and available for purchase, either through Ravelry or Shadow's Knit Knacks. It includes detailed instructions on double knitting, binding off one color while continuing in the other, and grafting knits to purls.

Piano Scarf Pattern

The pattern is now up! It can be purchased for $1.99 (US) at either Ravelry or Shadow's Knit Knacks. Thank you so much for all your encouragement!

I'm hoping to have the Autobots Scarf finished in time for next FO Friday. I just need to figure out how to graft knits to purls.
