Op. 10 Scarf Knitting Pattern

Hi Knitters,

Op. 10 scarf knitting pattern is now available!!! Hurrah!!! Please feel free to check it out on Ravelry and Etsy.

I tried to make a sharp contrast, in terms of the density of the pattern, of this kid-sized scarf: first with intense stitch and the second half with some simple lace patterns.

Op. 10 is good for knitters who wants to challenge themselves to become an intermediate knitters.  Yeah...by learning more techniques, you will have more fun knitting.  Op. 10 is apparently a good choice.  I enjoyed knitting this scarf so much.   Techniques you need to know:  cast on, bind off, knit, purl, yarn over, k2tog, skp, slip stitch.  

 And of course, as I told you before,  I love the Sublime yarn.  Kiss kiss kiss....

Obstacles? Yes.  Posing the scarf for photography was not easy. It gave me headache.  How to make this scarf look good?  How to show this beautiful scarf its best to the public, and make people fall in love with it even though  they cannot touch it at the moment?   And with reference of some knitting pattern collection, I finally got relieved by placing the scarf on a piece of floral cloth in dark background color.  Hope you like it.

HAPPY KNITTING

Encore! Sublime Extrafine Merino yarn in YELLOW!!!!


Hi Knitters,

I'm working on Op. 10 scarf right now.  The first half is made up by Noro Yarn and Patons Yarn. Just finished the first half of it. Wanna preview?



Op. 10, as I promised, knitted with the yarn ball "arranged" from a skein of Noro's Iroha.  Made of 50% of wool, 40% of silk and 10% of Nylon, Iroha in purple gave me a sense of warmth.  But I didn't sweat due to knitting it continuously for 2 hours.   Happy with that during so-called summer time in bay area.    Too bad I only got one skein of it.  I do like the yarn just the way I like other Noro yarn.  


The milky part you can see is made of Patons Moorland Shetland D.K.  Absolutely  yarn for cold weather. 

In the second half of Op. 10 scarf, I will knit with my beloved Sublime yarn.

Just a friendly reminder, I used sublime yarn in pink to knit Op. 8 scarflet.  

This time I will work with yellow color.  Shall I call it mustard? ??
Sublime yarn is just as gorgeous as usual.  So silky and soft to touch; so easy to knit with; so adorable to keep your eyes on....  Magnificent.  It's not only good for kids, adults will love it too....I just adore the colorways of this yarn.  Compared to Noro's Iroha, Sublime is much lighter in weight.  


Op. 10 is coming soon.  Stay in tune and

HAPPY KNITTING

Op. 8 Scarflet



Hi Knitter,

I'm too proud to present Op. 8 scarflet and it's pattern.  YEAH.

The pattern of this scarlet is now available on Ravelry and Etsy.  Another YEAH!
The structure of this scarflet is, as other scarlet, needs extra attentions to build.  Leaves on both side, neck part which can be extended and the loop part.



To be honest, the loop is not as difficult as some knitters image: just separate the stitches into two parts.


Material: SublimeLustrous Extra Fine Merino DK Yarn Color Way294 Folie 120 yards (1 & 1/4 balls)

Tools: A pair of US #6  (4.0mm) needles
          A set of  US #6 (4.0 mm) double-pointed needle

Size: Length 82cm
             Wide Leaf 17cm
                       Ribbing  18cm

Gauges: 12 stitches X 16 rows = 10 cm X 10 cm

And since it requires something useful and advance in technical means, I will make some YouTube 
tutorials which hopefully will give a little hand to some friend knitters.


Scarflet patterns, unlike scarf patterns, are not common available.  And I'm quite amused and a little proud that I can contribute something to the repertoire.  ^____^  Thank you for all your support.
