Half of my friends list would wear this scarf:



However, it's a lot of knitting (it's a tube), so NO.

Well, hmmm...maybe if I made it only four characters on each side instead of eight...

*lmao*

Mine's on size 8....knitting and knitting and knitting in the round gets REALLY dull REALLY fast. Though having the patterns to mix it up *might* make up for it....

Yeah, dealing with fair isle and deciding whether to do a 1 or a 0 next, and all that.

Have you done cables yet? They're super-easy and make things interesting. I've been knitting cables in the round on dpns, and people on the max/bus seem fascinated...yesterday the max was mobbed, and there I was, knitting away like gangbusters, with my headphones on, trying to focus on memorizing music. I kept noticing that two people across from me, a man and a woman, were pointing at my work and talking to each other. Out of the corner of my eye, it looked like she was explaining what I was doing, and answering his questions. It was fun to pretend not to notice.

I'm glad you learned how to do cables. This time last year you were telling me how super-complicated they looked. I still need to re-learn how to knit, myself. My friend, Mary taught me something messed up.

Also, aren't HP scarves tube scarves a lot of the time? The ones I see in the movies are often times thicker-looking than many cosplayers' scarves I have seen.

I think that scarf is neat, but would be cooler if he had Matrix symbols (about half of which are really backwards Japanese katakana characters) in it. Then it would be ultra-nerdy. And ultra HOTT. Yes, with two "t's."

The tube scarf I'm bitching about is a Gryffindor scarf that I've been sort of working on for over a year now. It's just...so...BORING!

You should teach me how to do cables because I lufff them!

www.knittinghelp.com has quicktime of damn near everything.

But to explain it fast--for the cables I'm doing right now, you just slip two stitches onto another needle and let it hang behind, knit two stitches, go back and knit the ones hanging out, purl one, repeat until end of row. And I only do it every sixth row when I'm in pattern for the cables.

I can show you tomorrow!
