I really enjoy knitting. Having something to focus on, which gives me something pretty, always helps to calm me down and keep my stress in check(unless I mess up a bunch of times, because then I stress about how bad my project looks). I especially enjoy scarves, because they don't take too long, but you get something useful in the end. This is my second time making this scarf. The first time, I made it in a week so I could give it as a gift to my aunt(who loved it, by the way). This second try, I like the result even more. The zigzag pattern is subtle, but enough to make the scarf exciting, and not just a basic knit scarf. The yarm really worked well for this project, with the colors gradually changing. The project was fairly simple, though you do need to know a few different stitches(though I googled them before I started, and they were all easy). I recommend this project to any advanced beginner knitters. I like to buy mill ends and bulk yarn at the craft store, because it tends to be cheaper, so I'm not sure what brand this yarn was, but it is a bulky weight, similar to the lion brand homespun yarns. The pattern for the scarf can be found here. Do you like to knit? What are your favorite things to knit?
