Simple Yet Effective

I was unavoidably distanced from my sewing machine yesterday.  A three hour medical appointment for my daughter meant I was going to have plenty of time on my hands! 

Noro Kureyon Sock Yarn - 1 skein colorway S188

Just before leaving the house I grabbed a ball of Noro Kureyon Sock Yarn and a knitting pattern that had been on my Ravelry Favorites for some time!  The Simple Yet Effective Scarf pattern is a well written, easy knitting pattern that does not require a great deal of concentration.  Just endless knitting.  Just what I needed to fill in the hours.  Two more 3 hours knitting sessions to come this week!  I am trying to sneak in some sewing time...

    I would love to learn how to knit. My goal is to be able to make BlaBla-like animals - my son's favorite toy is his BlaBla.

    I haven't done any knitting in MONTHS! I tried a shawl pattern very similar to the one you're knitting and it turned out great.

    I love how a ball of noro transforms itself once knitted. Stunning x

    That is absolutely gorgeous!!!! My knitting days ended when carpal tunnel set in, but I so enjoy seeing the beautiful things that are done with a simple ball of yarn. This scarf will be the envy of the town when its done!!

    Well I hope your daughter is ok. That sounds pretty intensive?
    I just love that wool, I'm going to have to google it! Although I usually stop reading anything that says sock yarn as it means its beyond my rudimentary knitting skills :-)

    I hope your daughter is okay. Knitting seems like a wonderful way to occupy the hands and the mind in something distracting.

    Prayers for your daughter!
    I am so envious of those who knit! I haven't gotten past crochet (I know 2 stitches). Knitting seems intimidating!

    Tanks for your blog, it is really inspiring!

    Yummy colors! Quilting and knitting/crocheting just seem to go together for some reason.

    Hope all is fine with your daughter.
    Knitting is one thing I just can't do....I can either knit or perl...don't know which one...and even that I don't do well...I have two left hands, I'm right handed. And I have to use my lap,I have to stick one needle between my legs!

    I just took up knitting this year, it's so nice to have a portable craft!
    I'm making a lace shawl with Kureyon sock right now too. I love the look but I don't love knitting with it! Your shawl looks gorgeous, a great showcase for the colors!
