Blue - no it's that really fine silky wool that looks like a fringe - usually multi coloured - you can't miss it it's gorgeous :O))) But it knits up into a lovely cuddly scarf :O)) |

Moonchild - don't get technical with me lol - I haven't kniited for about 20 years lol I think just chunky ............ and if I recall she said about a size 7 needle - so looks like we are all quite near the right mark :O)) |

Anne Am off down town later may look in wool shop and start one but then I've still got to finish Naths cross stitch. Spend too much time on here to do anything else. |

If its in rib and no big holey pattern, I would go for larger needles, perhaps a 6. Is she doing it in double knit or chunky? |

I did some for Christmas pressies - used no 8 needles, 20 stitches and plain knitting. But do NOT drop a stitch !!!! - virtually impossible to pick it up, I had to pull out and start again. Jay |

8s or 7s would be about right, depends on the pattern.... |

Do any of you knit those lovely scrumptious scarves we are all wearing - you know the ones made out of that lovely 'fringed' wool :O)) My friend in Florida has sent me 3 so far. Thought it would be nice to do one myself - what size needles would you use??? Looked at some wool yesterday and it said UK8/4mm which seemed too small to me ............. |
