FO: Prismatic Scarf

Finished! A scarf for me!!



This was the scarf I was knitting for myself as I was waiting around backstage during a production of The Pirates of Penzance. I needed something with an easily-memorized stitch pattern, that was interesting enough to keep me from feeling stockinette monotony. This pattern was the perfect fit!



As much as I dislike knitting scarves, this was a lovely winter project. But I am already itching to do some more colourwork!

Project Details:
Yarn: Malabrigo Silky Merino in Loro Barranquero (176), 2 skeins (300 yds)

Knitting In Costume

Here's some multitasking for you:

Knitting backstage, while playing scrabble (poorly), waiting to go onstage, and wearing fake eyelashes.

This was taken in the Green Room of my last show -- I managed to get a number of girls bringing their knitting. We would all sit around knitting/crocheting/scrabbling while between scenes.

And yes, the fake eyelashes get in the way of everything. But aren't they fun? (You can click on the photo to make it big, and see them closeup!)
