Ruminations on knitting at 3 a.m.

And she’s off!

My Ravelympics project is off to a slow start, but I think I’m starting to hit my stride. I’m really going to have to pick up the pace if I want to finish it in time.

Chart and Fabric

I designed a bamboo motif for the double-knit scarf—appropriate, since the yarn is made of 100% bamboo. I have seven pages of charts altogether (all 460 rows), which means I have to pay attention to each row.

Bamboo Forest Scarf

With the double-knitting, it can get a smidge confusing which color to use, but it looks like I haven’t messed up yet! Knock on wood for me! I’m going for the gold!
