Several of you have wanted to learn how to pick up stitches and knit a fringe onto the ends of a scarf. I will demonstrate this technique on Tuesday. If you want knit along with me have this swatch ready to go:
Using worsted weight yarn and straight needles in US # 7 or 8 or 9, cast on 20 stitches. Knit for about 2 or 3 inches and stop. Bring this swatch with you. For fun you can bring another color of similar weight yarn and we'll put one color of fringe on one end and the second color on the second end.
The fringe technique is easy to do. It's a variation of the rosette on The Zelda Hat and uses cable cast on (our favorite!) and bind off.
See you on Tuesday. . .tomato bisque soup is on the menu. Mmmm!
