One of my first knitting teachers looked down on crochet. She would say, "knitters do not crochet," with a sneer - so I never explored it much. But then . . . . Garnet Hill came out with this scarf this year. I fell in love right away and knew somehow I could make it for myself.
Buying the yarn was easy. I got a lovely box of Knit Picks Palette in the mail earlier this week. Both Em and I keep playing with the skeins - jut tumbling them over and over together, imagining how the scarf will turn out.Actually mastering scarf without a pattern is more of a challenge. I found a hexagon granny square that fits the bill though the first one I made is definitely too big. I bought a smaller hook last night and ready to try again. Garnet Hill, watch out.
