"Multidirectional Diagonal Scarf" No.2 !!!
I just finished my 2nd Multidirectional Diagonal Scarf! :)
This time, I again used Lion Brand Amazing but in 2100 Wild Flowers. And guess what... I'm working on the 3rd in one color - gray. It's going to be hubby's! He can use it for motorcycling when it gets cold, and I'm hoping it will remind him to ride carefully. :)

Cowl for a Friend
I knitted a cowl for a good friend back in October... (I know, I know... it's now February of the new year, and my last post here was a year ago! XD)
Pattern: "Silkie" by Gudrun Johnston - Purchased at Ravelry
Yarn: Quince and Co. Osprey in Delft 108

I started with provisional/chain cast-on to finish this snood with 3-needle bind-off. - If you don't know what I'm talking about here and really want to learn knitting, visit KnittingHelp.com :)
I'm a huge fan of the I-cord edge of this cowl (smooth, beautiful side edges!), and not having to use a cable needle to create this stitch pattern was a plus! It was quick and the stitch pattern was not boring or too complex. :)
Oh, and I have another scarf in progress, and I won't be long before I post it here, I promise! :D

Knitting a scarf
Can you believe I lost this post TWICE after typing everything up?! Also it was automatically publishend a couple of times when I was only trying to save! :(
Anyway, here is my 3rd attempt... I'm so patient. :D I'm going to save every 2 rows as I go this time. *sigh*

I'm knitting a scarf! :)

I'm using Moda Dea Cache in color "Smartie". One of my friends and I got this great deal at our local Michaels last week, and each of us bought 4 skeins of the yarn. Today I went back and got 6 more skeins. :D I was surprised to find they still had the yarn left!
Anyway, the friend who went to Michaels with me - said she had not knitted for a long time, and she didn't have needles, but I knew a good solution for that! :) It was:
K every row (garter stitch) using 2 needles in different sizes !
I love this technique for bulky yarn with lots of character such as Cache.
I'm sure her hands will remember how to "K" quickly, and using this technique, we only need a pair of a size and a pair of another size for both of us, and I can just lend mine (I have only a pair for each size). I thought it was great that she didn't have to buy a pair of needles especially because she doesn't know if she will knit more after this scarf. :)
Because it's garter stitch, both sides of the scarf will look identical which is great, and by using 2 different-size needles, you can make it look more exciting than regular garter stitch. :) Also, because big needles are used, this scarf works up so quickly that I think I can finish it in 1 day if I wanted to, and OH how little the amount of yarn it requires! It's shocking to me because I have just crocheted and crocheted and have hardly knitted for a looooong time. :D
By the way, I'm using a US #15 (10mm) and a #35 (19mm). I especially LOVE my beautiful #35 needles and stoppers that fit them! If you are interested, you can find them at Stitch Diva Studios.
I'll be knitting scarves until I finish up all 10 skeins of the yarn. :)
