I found one on the internet someone else has done.

A neat pattern for a trendy scarf and simple enough too, but do you think I can manage more than two rows without making a mistake? Not on your life. I forget to yon or psso or I knit my slip stitch and next you know I have an extra stitch or two or three. It's driving me crazy this one. I've started and restarted several times. At the moment I'm just keeping on going until the pattens is so ingrained into my thinking that I can do it in my sleep then I'll start a proper one.

I've even taken to undo it for practice which means knowing the pattern backwards as well.

This may be easy for some people but I'm finding it terribly difficult for now. I'll  be seeing my knitting guru on Tuesday and see if she has any suggestions.

Anyhow when I have something worthy of photographing I'll show what it looks like.

In the box

 As you will find out in the due corse of time I drive a taxi here in Toowoomba as a means to pay the bills. Unfortunately it gets a bit quite from time to time and when this happens I usually take some simple knitting with me to keep me occupied and this is the result of my latest down time. It's a straight forward ribbed scarf with three mistaked in it.

I used Patons Inca yarn on 6mm needles and it's going to be mailed off to a place where it's cold enough to be used.

I can't say where because the recipient doesn't know it coming their way and hopefully if they don't work out who they are it will be a surprise.

Oh and a big round of applause to our most magnificent model Mr. Ted.
