I was wearing this scarf over the weekend while I was at the Knit Out in Boulder, and I got a number of comments and requests for the pattern. Here's the story behind the scarf. A couple years ago I was in SanFransisco and happened on the yarn shop, Imagiknit. What a fun shop! The owners, Allison and Sara, are so personable and helpful. I would recommend stopping in if you are in the Bay area anytime soon! There were a ton of scarves knit up on a rack as samples, and that's where I spied this lovely one. I had never seen Manos Del Uruguay before and I fell in love with this colorway, it's color 113 (they are calling it wildflowers). The scarf pattern came with the yarn, one of the shop girls had typed it up. Now, everytime I wear it, someone comments on it and I've been asked so many times for the pattern that I finally called the store and asked if I could give it out. They just laughed and told me that they appreciated the call, but that it was just a stitch pattern out of a pattern... See less

How the Yarn is Made: Sari silk yarn is made from the same silk used to make the colorful Saris worn by many women in South Asia. When Saris are made on a mill, the ends of the silk fabric are trimmed off. To keep this beautiful silk from going to waste, the fibers from the trimmed ends are handspun spun into recycled silk yarn. This cottage spinning industry benefits women's development groups, helping them generate additional income. See less

Tired of searching through the bottom of your pocketbook for lint-covered lonely tampons? Search no more. On The Moon features a purse made out of soy silk yarn with fancy buttons to add excitement and work a bit like camouflage. The handle and fastener are worked using I-cord buttonholes, the only fancy part of this project. No one will suspect what's inside when you run off to the loo with such a sparkly purse. You will also find a chart, which you can print out, trim and place in your pouch to help you keep track on when you'll next be "On The Moon." See less

My favorite cast on method This creates a nice, stretchy edge that works well for stockinette stitch or for ribbing. Easy to knit from, easy to pick up stitches from, this is also the fastest cast-on I know, once you get the hang of it. It's even faster than Single Cast-On when you take into account that this method creates an already knitted row. (By the way, purl the first row if working stockinette on straight needles, because of the already-knitted row this creates.) Recommended for beginners, or anyone. ...Calculate 1/2" - 1" of yarn per stitch for the "long tail" that is required for this cast-on method. Let the tail dangle from the thumb of the left hand, so that it can untwist occasionally as you go (the thumb side gets twisted). There is another method of working this cast-on, which is a slower to work, called the thumb method. Here's a video: See less

So you're just learning how to knit? Fabulous! Traditionally, the first project most new knitters tackled was a scarf, but there is really no need to commit yourself to knitting the same stitch pattern and color for forty-eight inches if you don't want to. In fact, there are many projects that are better suited for beginner knitters than a plain scarf. What Makes a Great Beginner Knitting Pattern? There are several things that make a new knitter unique. First, a new knitter probably does not have a lot of technical experience, and she may be intimidated by intricate stitch patterns, increases, decreases or color work. A beginner is also most likely a slower knitter, who will naturally take longer to complete a project. The best project for a beginner is one that isn't technically difficult, but will still introduce one or two new techniques and is quick, satisfying and interesting to make. Some Examples Paw Print Dishcloth. If you can cast on, knit, purl and cast off, you can make this... See less

So what is it about handspun yarn that makes it so compelling? It's beautiful, surely. It feels nice. Looks nice. But what is the real attraction that people feel towards handspun yarn? I think it's that each yarn tells a story. Knitting with handspun is like reading a book. Each inch that comes along the needle has a different character, totally unique and different from all the other inches in its' length. As you work through the yarn you never know what to expect next. Sometimes it goes along smoothly for a long time, then POP! You are startled by a big blob with sparks of sparkle, or a menacing inky shadow with trailing fibers lurks across your needle. A handspun yarn also tells you a story about the person who made it. You run your fingers down the yarn, and you feel the impressions made by the hand of the spinner. Itˆïs like a long distance handshake. See less
