Hello!

[xdawnfirex]

Hello! I'm new, and here is a photo of the scarf I am currently working on. This is the first item I have made with ribbing that has turned out successful!





I'm using Lily Sugar 'n Cream yarn in Mod Ombre, and knitting on size 7 needles.

Cute! I like the little dashes of yellow, like messages. When I started scarves I didn't realise stocking stitch was going to cause me problems, it took a while to discover that rib was the answer!

I've actually done two in stocking stitch and they both turned out pretty well IMO -

I do like the ribbing, though I've learned that I can't use really big needles when ribbing (unless the yarn calls for it). That first scarf, the bright one, I used 13s with that Noro, but when I tried that with ribbing it did not turn out well at all. :p

Very pretty - may I ask how long you have been knitting?

Thank you! :) And, since the end of February. (I actually had to check my journal to see when, LOL.)

You've only been knitting for two and a bit months???????

Your work is really superb, then.... I am honored to meet you, and I don't say that very often.
