At first I was knitting this scarf as a gift for a friend, but considering that there are a number of mistakes that I made in the pattern at the beginning, I’ve decided to knit a new one for her (hopefully without mistakes) and keep this for myself instead. I’ve decided it will likely be a new addition to one of my bike bags, where I keep an assortment of lights, tools, gloves, and snacks so I can get up and go on a ride without much preparation. I’ve always wanted to add a scarf to the mix, but until now haven’t had one that I’m content to let sit in the bottom of my bag, unused for the majority of the week.
Deciding that this was going to be its purpose, I’ve cast off the scarf to be significantly shorter than what the pattern calls for, as I don’t want it to be too bulky or overly warm when I’m cycling.
In my last blog I wrote about my foray into blocking – and now I’ve actually tried it. Now all it needs is to dry, and (ideally) it’ll be good to go.
