Ok. So
I didn’t actually knit the longest
scarf in the world. I exaggerate a
bit. You’ve probably picked up on that
by now. Regardless, what I did wind up knitting is a really, really …really
long scarf for one of my good friends.
This scarf was not knitted out of the goodness of my heart. It was
knitted in exchange for her sewing me up one of her outstanding project
bags. You can check out her Etsy shop
here:
This has probably been my most challenging projects to date. In addition to learning a new stitch, it also took 6 skeins of yarn and over a month and half to knit. I also had to make tassels. Those tassels were almost my undoing. I’ll just be avoiding them at all cost in the near future by the way.
The
scarf is a modified version of The Trinity Stitch Scarf created by this lovely
lady who hosts the Casting On Couch via Youtube. You can find her pattern and tutorial here:
(Said
scarf is modeled by my dog Hershel. He loves wearing clothes. No really. Dress
up is part of our routine. One could say
he is my knitting muse.)
In
retrospect, I’m wondering where my line would be regarding exchanging hand
knits for other items I could use? This could be a dangerous train of thought.
I could potentially set up some type of complicated bartering system based
completely on knitted projects. Hm.
How
often do you exchange knitted projects for things that you want/need?
