Crafting On - December 5 2017

Crafting On this week is some custom knitting.  One of my friends from back in my stock brokerage day asked about me knitting a winter set for her grandson.

Luckily, Flickr has the ‘denim’ filter.  I couldn’t get the cables to show on the black.  I used the South End Knitters toque pattern because she wanted cables (she wants a pom-pom too, will have to figure this out).   The mittens are a basic pattern with X and O cables.  The scarf is just basic, I call it ‘mistake rib’ because it’s basically a k2 p2 rib, BUT you start with 1 extra stitch at the beginning of each row so that only 1 stitch of the rib matches up.  It makes a very stretchy, cozy scarf.
