Yup, another test knit. I love doing test knits for other designers as it forces you to produce an FO (you have a deadline). It’s great for practicing the art of knitting. Finally, as an aspiring designer who has a few patterns under her belt, it gets you better aquainted with all the aspects of producing a pattern that will work well for other knitters. I never used test knitters for my 5 or so patterns, and thankfully I’ve never had any problems, but now I see it’s benefits!
Pattern: Brionay Scarf
Yarn: Cascade Eco +
Needles: US 7 / 4.5mm, US 10 1/2 / 6.5 mm
I feel ultra silly for blogging about a definite winter accessory, but it is what it is. I’ll appreciate it’s existence about 7 months from now!
The design is very simple and yet has a great effect. It’s done in a bulky weight yarn and I chose Cascade Eco+ because it’s a LOT of yardage in one skein. I didn’t have a lot of colours to choose from at my LYS, but seeing as I have a thing for green, and this was one of “my” greens, it was an easy choice.
Don’t forget you have readers like me who are coming into winter and who are very happy to check out new scarf patterns. Love it and love the green 🙂
Actually, that thought did cross my mind!! You’re right! 😀
As a someone in the hemisphere about to hit winter and bemoaning my lack of scarf knitting over the summer months – this looks just perfect to me right now!
It’s nice to know someone somewhere will appreciate a good winter accessory at this time of the year! 🙂
How cute, it looks so cozy. I too have a thing for green so I think that color looks just perfect!
Thanks! Yup, there’s just something about greeeen! 🙂
