Loopy Blues

I was looking for a scarf that would work well for spring/summer and also stay on as an option as the weather got colder. (I’ve been looking for lots of projects like this recently!) I got a hint from a friend that she’s like something and so I chose this!

It's knit in the round, so it’s one big loop. No sewing, hooray!

Blocking did wonders for this project. I stretched it out and pinned it down dry, then stuck a wet tea towel over the top and ironed it. Unpinned when dry and all was well.

My one comment is that the loop could benefit from a bit more length (circumference?). Maybe cast on 250 instead of 210 or something like that. I think that might make it just a bit easier for triple wrapping.

The aforementioned friend who received the finished product is Marisa, of recent Stupid Vegan Cheese Won't Melt fame. I don't have a picture of her wearing it, but maybe someday I will! *cough*

Overall, I’m really happy with this project! In fact, just tonight I finished binding off on one of my own and now all it needs it blocking. Pictures of that one to come as well.
