Doctor Who Scarf

[lysdexia]

Can't believe that this scarf represents about six months of my life in terms of creative work. Stretched out it's between twelve and fifteen feet long and mostly knitted in garter stitch with acrylic yarns.







Next project, ballet slippers!

EDIT: Fixed image link, added one more, hopefully.

I figured you meant to show us this picture and it really is worth showing that nice scarf off. I can't believe you finished it in just 6 months... but I tend to wander off and work on something else when I get bored.

There's a huge stigma against acrylic yarn, but I keep thinking, especially about scarves, "What if I sneeze into it?" So having it be something that can stand soap and water might be useful. My own personal scarf (also garter and striped) is alpaca, and even if I'm wanting a scarf, I don't wear it if I'm sneezy. But yeah, I'm not so keen on knitting with acrylic yarn anymore either.

(Sorry if it was weird to tell you I liked your hallway.... but taking pictures of things like this takes some skill and happenstance.)

Oh no! I know what that's like but a lot of acrylics make me itch, so it's hard sometimes. I don't intend to really wear this much against my actual skin, so I figure it'll be okay but it was a pain to work with. I'm glad I'll be able to wash this one.

Also, about the hallway, it's not weird at all. So few apartments are built like this one I'm just glad to have it.
