Pick up...

…where we left off shall we. Surprisingly I got the entreloc Danica scarf done. I was DREADING weaving in those ends ya’ll. It only took a couple of hours of Tivo’d American Idol to get them all woven in. I used a crochet hook!
I even blocked it!







And off it went….





I used 3 skeins Lion Cashmere (1 ½ blk, 1 ½ grey) and some scrap Debbie Bliss cashmerino on size 8 Susan Bates needles- aluminum straights.
I felt like a knitting superstar making this. It looks difficult but it wasn’t. Aside from Matty this is one of my first knitted gifts. I hope the recipient really likes it. I’d hate for it to be one of those things people sit out or dig up simply because you’re coming to visit…

You did a great job on that scarf! I haven't even tried Entrelac yet; it looks hard, but it's nice to hear someone say it isn't really.

Thanks! I was intimidated when I first started but I finally said to myself "what the heck" and it ended up being easy and I'm happy with the way it came out.

The color combos look great! An entrelac scarf is on my long list of to do's too!
