My baby sister is getting a children's book published (!!!) so as a congratulations present, I'm knitting her a scarf in her favorite color. She picked the base yarn (Malabrigo Worsted in Sapphire Magenta) and I picked the complimentary yarns and the pattern - the Purl Scarf, from Last Minute Knitted Gifts. This was one of the very first knitting books I ever bought, and though I'm not a big scarf knitter, I've always wanted to knit this one. I'm knitting it on size 13s rather than 15s, mostly 'cause I don't have 15s, and it's definitely thinner than I expected based on the photos - if I made it again, I might add a few stitches to get a bulkier scarf. But I love the loose open rib and the way the colors all go together, so, here's hoping she likes it too?
This is gorgeous! Why wouldn't she like it? :)
ReplyDeleteAnd congrats to your sister on her book! I hope you will share it with us when it's published.
Congrats to your sister! I love the colours in the scarf you are knitting her, and I am sure she will too. Malabrigo is so soft and squishy - it will feel so nice around her neck!
