  • Jeremy’s Scarf

    A friend of mine often works outside, and I asked him whether a scarf would help. He jumped at the chance, and after consulting with him on colors (green or fall colors) this is what I came up with. It’s a fairly simple stockinette stitch created on the yellow long loom (18 pegs each side). The scarf used a twin yarn, so it’s very thick (as the image will show).

    Variated scarf for Jeremy

    • Loom: Yellow KK Long Loom (38 pegs)
    • Yarn: Red Heart, Fleck (5oz), worsted medium; Red Heart, Multi (5oz), worsted medium
    • Stitch: Double-yarn basic stockinette stitch

    I made this scarf during Sunday afternoon. It started off two-times prior to me finishing it, as I tried different stitches for this scarf. Each time I’d get a number of rows finished and then realize that I didn’t like the look, so I unraveled it (called frogging) and started again.

  • Finished tube scarf

    Well I finally finished my scarf (this one is for me), and it ended up being about 75 inches long. It wraps my neck a couple of times.

    I’m not completely happy with the bind off (right side), but it gives me something to work on and perfect.

  • WIP: Tube scarf

    I’ve been working on a tube scarf for the last week, and thought I would post pics of it’s current status.

    The image on the left was taken with a flash, and there was no flash used on the right. The first end has a slight “brim” of six rows (folded) for weight. I’m still trying to ascertain how I will do the same effect at the other end.

  • Scarf, blue

    This was my very first project using the KK long loom and the yarn used (lamb wool blend) is very soft and warm.
