Me. Me. Me.
I recently tackled a project that has been on my to knit list for over a year. Two woman from my knit group, Kris and Barbara, gave me Exquisite Little Knits by Iris Schreier & Laurie J. Kimmelstiel and Art Yarns Super Merino Colorway 105 for a wedding gift.
First of all, I love that I get yarn for a wedding gift. This was a simple knit that I did for myself. All me. Me. Me. Me. It only took me a year and a half to get to it. At this rate, the knit list is obviously going to grow a lot faster than projects are finished.
For this yarn, I choose a pattern from the book, The Flying V scarf. I have knit up two of Iris Schreier's patterns. She has really cool designs - ingenious and fun with just enough challenge to keep you interested.
The yarn is so yum and squishy and soft. The scarf stretched quite a bit with use. I wonder if it is the yarn or the pattern? No matter...I love them both all the same.

Very cool. It's sort of like Jaywalker socks but in a scarf version. And, how does the husband feel about yarn for a wedding gift? Just asking. ;-)
Beautiful. I love the yarn and the pattern.
I think I admired this when I saw you wearing it, no? But it's beautiful regardless! And yarn for a wedding present sounds very appropriate to me. Wish I had thought of it.
Having seen this scarf in action, I can attest to its loveliness and yumminess.
Is there anything Artyarns can't do?
I think not.
Those colors look really good on you.
i'd like the answer to Carole's question... how did the hubby react when the wedding gift was opened and out sprang yarn?
lovely scarf! i bet it's going to get a lot of use this winter.
I clicked on the top picture and it got so big I thought I was going to be able to walk down the squishy knitted road.
Cool.
Very nice! I love that colorway. Nice picture too. I love when people take artsy pictures of their work.
Very beautiful! It is lovely to see how the yarn knit up....
I've gotten thru row 15 of the Flying V and am STUCK. What does she mean "On the other side,..." The other side of what? Right now I have a little triangle hanging down from the needle with 9 extra stiches sticking out the side with the working yarn. I'd love some advice. Carolyn R
