finish more knitting projects (read all 17 entries…)
anyone got ideas? 3 years ago

for a skinny scarf? something easy but cute (not 1×1 rib, for example).

gotta finish it in a week, with time out for, uh, like my job and stuff.

thanks!

drop stitch, perhaps?

those tend to knit up quickly.

here is an example: http://www.keyboardbiologist.net/Patterns/DropStitchScarf.htm

you don’t need to use ribbon yarn, either. I made one using really fuzzy (but not fun-fur) novelty yarn, and another using yarn that is a lot like soft rope.

A diagonal scarf maybe?

I made this one after I saw it demonstrated on the show “Knitty Gritty”. Mine is made of a fluffy but not actually furry yarn (Allure-I think) and alternate stripes of a multicolor ribbon yarn. Both carried up the side as the piece is knitted. It looks marvelous and worked up very fast.

variations on a theme

There’s also the multidirectional diagonal scarf: http://www.monradguitars.com/tknitting/multidirectionalscarf.htm

way cool

This would be a great way to perfect one’s short rowing skills.

these are such cool ideas

thanks, guys! i have done one of the multidirectionals before – they come out really nice!

I’m going to post a picture when I’m done, but i did start it last night and I’m 1/3 of the way along.
