I knit way too much... Though I love doing it, I knitted a scarf for a girl at my work; who commented that I should sell what I knitted. Not a bad idea, though I only knit scarfs.
Why?
Well because when you really think about it, a scarf isn't complicated to knit. Just about... 20 stitches on and then knit, you can knit however you want to - purl, basket weve ect; it doesn't matter, because it looks good as a scarf. Though I love the wool that feels really soft, the softer the wool is and I think colour has a lot to do with it too. I hate bland colours when I knit. i always go for colours that I know I won't wear, I have knitted a scarf that is really bright, with bits of yellow, pink, green all mixed together - it doesn't sound like it should make a nice scarf, but it does! Plus it's so soft! I think I might go back and buy some more of that wool, make an extremely long scarf... Like Tom Baker had when he was in Doctor Who. Only this one is more colourful, and will feel nicer on the skin.
I plan on knitting a cloak. I'll probably need about... 350 stitches to make it, maybe 450, but I'll measure my coat and see how it goes from there. More than likely I shall never finish it... But it's a test. At lest the wool was cheap; 6 balls of wool for £5.
