milkweed
I wish you could have been here to share my glee when I unpinned the blocking Milkweed scarf. It was soft and lovely before I blocked it, but in its finished state, it’s phenomenal. Soft, drapey, scrunchy, and yeah… soft. I am now actively looking for the next opportunity to knit with Malabrigo Sock for not-socks.
I’m not sure what else to say about this project! It’s just that good. I’m in love with the finished scarf! I don’t often make the exact same project more than once, but I am considering the possibility of knitting some very similar designs. I love the garter stitch and the great use for sock yarn.
This blog is going to look a little like a FO-parade for the next little bit. After this post, I have two more finished objects to show off… and all the while I’ll be furiously trying to finish up another one in the background. I have a sweater on the needles – that I haven’t shown you yet – and I’m trying to get it finished in time for the Lorna’s Laces knit-along for the Pioneer sweater, which I’m looking forward to getting started.

If I could make something that gorgeous, I’d give up everything else. Just kidding–not alpacas. But your work is a joy to behold.

Wow! I love the shape of that. It’s very gothic looking in a very soft way. Gorgeous colors. Man I WISH I could knit. Love the blog, it’s very pretty.
[...] thicker yarn and 6.5mm needles than the original, it’s a little less versatile for summer accessorizing, and will probably have to wait for [...]
