So rather a long time ago (September 2012!!!), I was brought back 2 lovely skeins of Americo Original Cotton Alpaca 4ply yarn from Toronto, Canada. With it came a pattern for the Ariel Bias Scarf. A really simple pattern using 5mm needles.
I duly cast on my 67 stitches and did 2 purl rows. You then start the 2 row stitch pattern of Knit 3 stitches, then repeat YO (Yarn over), K2tog (Knit two together) to the last 2 stitches, Knit 2.
Turn the work, Knit 2 stitches, Purl to the last 2 stitches, Knit 2. And so forth.
Except I only got a few rows in and then the scarf got cast aside for a new pair of socks....... and then another!
But 2015 is all about finishing my WIP's (works in progress) that I wished I finished ages ago and using up some of my yarn stash (then I don't feel guilty about buying more).
Its a super easy pattern to memorise and knit in front of the telly (or in a recent traffic jam - at least I wasn't a grumpy driver! I wasn't going anywhere, so might as well be time effective).
I kept at the pattern until I was nearly out of yarn - 200g later and over 2m in length, I finished with the 2 rows of Knit stitch and cast off.
My Ariel Bias Scarf at last.
Its an un-dyed alpaca /cotton yarn from Peru and I just love the colour.
I think it rather suits me!
3 languishing WIP's finished so far this year and its only April tomorrow!
Happy knitting!
That is beautiful! Well done for crossing off a lingering WIP.
