I've started the next square, this time I did not go for the next in the book but picked out the Ginette Belanger. After completing the first 5 rows of garter stitch I realised it was not going to stretch to the required 12 inches to I started again with 54 stitches and only increased by 18 when the time came. It was much better although still required stretching to make the 12 inches. I found it hard to concentrate as there are so many patterns on the internet I would like to try. I've downloaded heaps of Ravelry and following links from peoples blogs I have come up with a number of sock patterns I would like to try. I've only ever knitted bedsocks in the past.
Last night I finished the square and blocked it today. Here is a pic.
I finished the scarf a couple of days ago then spent forever sewing in all the loose ends from the colour changes. The tassells were completed this morning and hey presto, it's done!
I did less stitches so it wasn't too wide for me, 10 inches, and used a smaller needle (3.75mm) to make the length shorter. At 4'11" I did not need a 12ft scarf! The final length was 9ft. The only problem I have now is what to do with all the left over yarn!
