Everything Comes to Those Who Wait.
Everything comes to those who wait.
That mustard wool had hidden in the stash for at least thirty years, waiting its turn to be chosen as ‘the one‘ for today.
Patiently, silently it accused me of neglect. Thoughtlessly, I used it as a trail, a pattern test for size and drape, knitted it in moss stitch, then once again cast it aside. Again it waited, fabric now, until he discovered it and fell in love.
Discovered, coveted, wrapped around his neck, it has now flown to the other side of the world to live in beauty.
Every knitted piece, eventually, finds the one who loves it.
To knit the scarf:
Play with your swatch until you have achieved the feel and the look you want, then knit to your heart’s content and wear with joy.
Length 180cm
Width 34cm
10 by 10cm swatch: 13 stitches across, 20 rows
Knitted in Moss Stitch, on an uneven number of stitches, you do not have to count and remember which stitch you begin a row with as it will always be a knit stitch.
So, knit 1, purl 1 until you have yourself a scarf.
