Finished an easy
Mostly a quiet week so far, though tonight was a very busy one at the restaurant. While we barely broke $1000 all day for the first part of the week, we managed a $1300 $1700 dinner tonight. What does that mean? It means the three of us in the kitchen were humping our little butts for a solid three hours, but the owner should be happy.
Finished a simple little scarf this afternoon and presented it to the young lady I work work with. She was pleased. It was mindless and the only thing that saved it from being painfully mindless was the fact that it required me to increase a stitch on one side and remember to decrease on the other. While it was basically garter stitch, the increasing and decreasing caused a bias in the fabric creating the points at the end and the slanting of the stitch pattern.
Unfortunately, the other two young ladies I worked with tonight asked “Where’s mine?”. I’ve got a couple more skeins and as easy as these things are to knit up, I may just do a couple more.

Well, you’ve inspired TWO projects now. I got some beautiful creamy white Canadiana to do a Gansey and I’ve started a scarf and hat for me in some novelty yarn I bought in a fit of madness. It is really impossible to work with as it seems to add a stitch or two every row, I can’t figure out where. It has big slubs and I think I knit into a slub instead of a stitch. It’ll look OK when it’s done, and it’s not for anyone but me.So see? Iwas happily slogging through a sweater, a sort of dumbed down aran and I let myself be sidetracked so easily. That’s what I get for wandering around the net. My daughter says I have no restraint.

Oh — how cool! I do garter stitch, too, because that’s all I know right now — but I’m going to try to make a scarf with your bias effect, right after I get my knitting mentor to show me in person how it works — thanks for the photo!
