Scarfy fun!

[ferox.livejournal.com]

Finally finished something for myself! I swear, as soon as people learn you can knit, everybody wants something and the worst part is, they just don't GET how much time/effort/planning it takes to do!

Enough pitty, more pretty! I made this scarf out of something called 'Bliss' and let me tell you, the name? More than accurate. It's like a little fluffy kitten; so soft! I got it on sale at Wall-Mart for like two bucks a skein, buying two skeins as I KNEW this had to be a scarf, but ended up only having to use one. And this is a six foot long scarf here people, with enough left over for a good amount of fringe! I used my giant 15 needles to give it a sort of lacey look without actually having to do any, you know, work. AND! If that wasn't enough! I hand beaded in some clear, lightweight glass beads onto it. You can only make out a few of them in the picture, but trust me, they're there and there are a LOT! At least two every row, all random and pretty like.

This is my 'Summer Glau' scarf; it is white, airy, sparkly and is a loose lace stitch and has eleven stitches. If you get the symbolism in that... well, you're my hero.




you can kiiiiind of see the beads? right? please?
