Knitting Content #2
Perforated Edge scarf from Little Box of Scarves. Berroco Foliage on #10 needles. I liked this yarn, 1/2 wool, 1/2 acrylic. Very soft. Like Lion Brand Landscapes but a little thinner. Frogging was easier than on any other projects because the little loops stayed standing up long enough for me to catch them with the needle! I only had to crochet hook one or two times per frog. Lesson I have learned on this scarf, and on the previous two projects: I am too much of an ENFP to dare setting a project down. I've managed to finish these projects because I didn't take on anything else in that time. All this knitting is helping develop my perseverance and patience but Oh, Lord, it's hard. (Psalm 225, vs.1)

Emily, it's so good to see knitting content! What a beautiful scarf; I love that yarn. How wonderful. I might be moving to Cincinnati...got any good religious insight like you did for Twin Falls (which, by the way, was dead on and very valuable.)
Hello, Emily. Here's a belated comment and big favor request about your perforated edge scarf. Lovely job!
I'm a beginning knitter who picked up the Little Box of Scarves last October. Since then, I've had great success with several patterns -- feather and fan, chevron and feather, pashmina rib (which I knit with a bulky, super soft alpaca since cashmere was outside my budget). I first knit the perforated edge scarf with a monotone alpaca boucle, which didn't do the pattern justice, though threading gold braid through the perforated edge helped a lot.
More recently, I started my second perforated edge scarf, this time with a variegated wool a friend gave me. I'm nearing the end, and it looks great! Only I've run into a problem -- I've misplaced the pattern card! Doing the body is no problem -- I have the row 1: k3, yo, knit to end; row 2: k2, k2tog, yo, k2tog, knit to end down pat. But I don't know what decrease pattern to use to finish the scarf! And I don't know enough about knitting yet to figure it out from the beginning, or from the first perforated edge scarf I knit!
If you're willing, I'd really appreciate it if you would send me the pattern instructions for decreasing rows at the end. That's the only part I need to finish my own scarf.
My email address is gfs@toad-hall.com.
Many thanks for considering this. Happy knitting!
