Instagram: Mushrooms

As some of you may have noticed, I changed the name of the blog. I felt like the previous one was too much of a mouthful. So make sure to update any bookmarks :) (I'm still working on changing all of the links on this blog but I have most of them done)

Stitch Scarf: Simple Slip Stitch

The latest stitch scarf that I've finished is the Simple Slip Stitch one. That was done by knitting one, slipping one stitch, and then knitting knitting three stitches for the first row, and then purling the second row. I used some leftover black yarn that I had to make (I'm not sure what that yarn is composed of, other than I'm pretty sure it's a synthetic blend of some form). I had some problem blocking this one as well, although not as bad as the Purl Ridges scarf. I think that the problems that I had with this one might be from the fact that the standard stockinette stitch has a tendency to curl at the edges (this scarf is basically a slightly modified form of that stitch; and the curl at the edge is what I could not undo with blocking with this scarf), so I found a suggestion online of how to modify the beginning/end of each row so that the finished product doesn't curl, which I will try out on another project that uses the stockinette stitch or something similar. I haven't started a new scarf yet but I'm hoping to in the next few days. Currently, I'm working on using the magic loop method for making socks (it's so much easier than doing each one individually, even when I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to switch over to double pointed needles for the heels). (Top two photos are of the scarf; the bottom one is of the socks I'm currently working on with the magic loop)
