  • Scarves that scribble

    IMG_0115 Long scarves, skinny scarves, wrapped around the neck could practically write a sonnet;  well,  a haiku, perhaps. 

    This one was knit using my arms as knitting needles from linen yarn, three stitches wide,  six feet long.

    IMG_0117 Eight stitches in a wrapped four and then dropped next row,  wrapped two and then dropped next row pattern, knit in a cotton silk blend;  nine feet.  Endless possibilities for 'scribbling'.

    IMG_0118 Finely woven (not by me) in a silk thread this scarf is twelve inches wide by seven feet long and is likely doodling in bold type that can also work as a shawl and/or head cover.

    IMG_0116 A paragraph of italics with many exclamation marks this was also knit on my arms, this time using handspun polyester (batting).
