Linked Rib

I tackled the linked rib pattern, I made a couple of mistakes, but am happy with the overall result. I have also made the first "section" of a Carumboa", 43 to go! The brown scarf is "corrugated" , my easy wave gone wrong..ok...will try again, but the result there is perfect for my elderly neighbour

Completed

Completed a scarf from this wonderful book. I used Cascade Yarns Jewel Hand-dyed color 9889 with # 10 3/4 double-pointed needles. The project is over a hundred inches long because I decided to use up two balls of yarns. A great project and I've moved on to the tricorner scarf.

Linked Rib, finished

My Linked rib scarf is done! 2 skeins of Summer Tweed wasn't enough, so I had to order more. But now it's finished and I really like the way it turned out! It gets lots of attention, too. Everyone comments on its unusual design. There are more pictures of it on my Flickr stream, and on Ravelry.

Now I might have to knit some other stuff for a while, but I'll be coming back to Knitting New Scarves at some point. There are a couple of other scarves I have my eye on. :)

Linked Rib and a bit of a Round Up.

I thought I would do a post about the Linked Rib I started the other night. I didn't intend to knit the whole scarf but a friend who had started it said she was having a problem, so I decided to cast on and see how I got on.
I had a bit of a struggle with the needles for the first round, because what I was doing was so unfamiliar. But I just followed the instructions and it all went well, in spite of the large glass of wine you can just see in the photograph. You can read more here.

I went round to see my friend Jean the next day, and found that, far from needing any advice from me, she was sailing on regardless. She's using Noro Silk Garden Lite, and the colours are fitting in with the pattern very neatly. Do go and have a look.

Here is another blogger who is working on knitting new scarves, and another. Jen is making another Linked Rib in variegated yarn, and advocates keeping your eye on the instructions.

I'm not going to pursue my Linked Rib; as soon as I finish the other little bits and pieces I've been distracted by, I will return to Aria, which I haven't shown here yet. I am itching to get back to it.

My "Leafy Shag" scarf and a Linked Rib

Hi, all. I recently finished a Shag scarf, using the new Debbie Mumm Traditions yarn. It's annoying yarn, but the results are pretty. I really like how the pattern looks with variegated yarn. It was a very easy knit. Mine is pretty short, but I think it would also look great if it was extra long.

I'm currently working on the Linked Rib scarf and I am liking that pattern a lot! I'm 18" into it so far, doing one pattern repeat each day, so I should be done in a couple of weeks at that rate.

The only problem with it is that I seem to be going through yarn faster than expected, so it might be shorter than I'd hoped. But we will see.
