Guest guest Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 I have a question about a knitting pattern, that is, IF anyone knits! LOL I am looking for a " magic scarf " pattern which is a tube type scarf that stretches and can be worn as a cowl, a regular scarf, a muff, etc. I have tried to find a pattern for it, but I don't want to spend a fortune on a knitting book that I may use just 1 or two times. Our library is insufficient in crafts. Can anyone help or point me to a source that is relatively inexpensive? TIA! Jill Mc. Alabama Meet the all-new My – Try it today!

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 Hi Jill, Just get a pair of knitting needles to make socks - they are connected so you keep knitting in circles - and use any pattern in the stitches? mary Well, Naturally At 05:37 PM 12/6/2004, you wrote: >I have a question about a knitting pattern, that is, IF anyone knits!

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 You are welcome - grin I attended a girls school, and wore a uniform,and somewhere along the way, it became fashionable to knit a scarf in the school colours - one end around my neck and the other end on knitting needles. They got to be about 6ft long in the end - grin mary Well, Naturally At 06:03 PM 12/6/2004, you wrote: >I will try that I have a small set here.

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 Jill, It takes a circular needle, or 5 or 4 doublepointed needles,, large size needles and forgiving yarn.. I've seen them made with fun fur. C-M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am reviving this OT thread because of something I found over the holidays ----and have become addicted to! Jill, here is your solution for a magic scarf! You see... I cannot knit. My mother tried to teach me when I was young. I got frustrated and never tried to learn the rest of my life. Now my 11 year old daughter has learned to knit and caught on so fast and well. I was looking for Christmas gifts to give her... ****and found the Knifty Knitter for myself! Now I can knit! It is so easy and so fun. I have cranked out 3 scarves already. I like the thin, thin tube ones made out of the boa and fun fur and eyelash yarns!! They are soooo beautiful and cost me $6 to $10 to make. Can't beat that with a stick! http://joannfabrics.com/catalog.jhtml;$sessionid$HPH3DFIAAFFDQP4SY5LRIHR50LD3UEP\ O?CATID=46515 & PRODID=90442 I got my set at Michaels for $15. I have since found many other sites for round-loom knitting and knitting boards. There isn't anything I can't 'knit' now! http://decoraccentsinc.com/knittingloomsboards.html http://www.knittinglooms.com/magic_scarf_pattern.html http://www.knittinglooms.bigstep.com/catalog.html Hope you enjoy! This is for beginners and seasoned knitters (just a faster and easier way with lots of room for challenging projects!) Andrea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
