Update on my Wide-ass scarf.
Jan. 5th, 2011 02:37 amHello everyone! A fortnight ago I posted here asking for suggestions on how I could salvage a free-handed knitting nightmare. You may remember the culprit:

A scarf I was hoping to give my Gran for Christmas, but had knitted far too wide and was running out of wool. You lovely ladies suggested I turn it into a neck warmer with a couple of buttons which I duly did.

It knitted up to a fine length, with enough wool left over to make little pleated loops to fasten the toggles

My gran couldn't believe it wasn't store bought to begin with, which I think is a very good sign for my first ever knitted item :D

Thankyou to everyone for your suggestions! I'm so glad I was able to turn this into a successful gift.
