More scarves ; knit on arms

The adventure of using arms as knitting needles and different 'yarns' continues.  Raw fleece was used here and gave a nice cool weather scarf but I wanted something more spring like. 

The ivory one is made from a length of rayon/cotton material ripped into inch or less widths and knit across  four stitches.  I like it a lot and wear it a lot and when I was looking for it to put with the others for the photograph realized it was cozily draped around my neck.

The narrow linen-coloured one is a rustic linen yarn, finished just awhile ago because I needed the linen for a pair of socks and was wondering how it would knit up on arms into a scarf.  It is airy and free-spirited;  I don't know if it will prove a bit too rough for skin contact but draped around a collar suits.

The large one is made from three or so inch widths ripped from a bolt of material from the reduced rack at a local fabric store.  Unknown content.  I like the stone colour and window screen texture and soft drape and flyaway edges.    A slim skirt is planned from some of the rest of the material.  I bought the entire rest of bolt.  It may be clothing me in garments for years!

This ivory one is from twelve strands of cotton across  three stitches and I suspect it will have more appeal once the weather is warm/warmer again.  I made the aforementioned  ripped cloth one as it is suiting the spring season.

The purple is from a year or so ago and is a smoother linen across  three stitches so more compact than the linen-coloured one and more friendly against the skin as a necklet. 

The large one is made from men's  ties and is more a wrap or cowl than a scarf as it has  some weight to it. I may try coiling it into a bit of a hat.  Hmmm.  Or loop it and hang it from the neck down the back like the scarves with the East Indian tunics and large legged pants;  I like how that drape causes the straight-back line from neck to waist and suggests good posture and clear energy chakra flow.

There is more knitting on arms here  ;  scroll the index for arm/hand knitting -  towels and ties.  There is also how to rip a continuous strip of fabric.
