scarf

This idea is so easy, no sewing involved, just buy a roll of stockinette (it's mainly used for cleaning and polishing cars, Wilkinson sell it). Unroll a length about 60cm (24in) long and cut it. The stockinette is a tube, knitted in the round, just pull and stretch the 'loop' and that's it job done! If you don't like the unbleached colour you can dye it. I designed lampshades from stockinette for a book some years ago, I dyed it in lots of colours and it took dye really well. It's a nice scarf for spring/summer as it's made from cotton. 

This scarf is really quick to knit, I knitted it in a day, still time to knit one as a gift before Christmas.

I bought a lovely soft yarn called Ebba (70% merino 20% alpaca 10% silk) a bulky yarn 12ply, from Woolfish. I used 300 gms to knit the scarf.

Needle size should be 8.00 mm but to be honest I used the largest circular needles I had to hand, 6.5 mm, this gave me a close knit but because it's a scarf it didn't matter.

On Sunday 26 September, along with my friend Sue, I attended a one day Nuno felting workshop arranged by the IFA (International Feltmakers Association) Region 5 and run by Emma Jackson
