My mossy scarf

Good morning! My name is Pam. I'm a 32 y/o mommy of a 4 y/o. And a nurse from Pennsylvania. I taught myself to knit from a book and I'm moving along fairly well. I can do the basic stuff but I haven't been able to knit cables or anything more advanced than ribbing. Oh no...wait! I did knit a button hole! Just for practice and it was glorious. Anyway I've been wanting a mossy green scarf so I bought a skein of super bulky forest green chenille and, with my size 17 needles, knitted it in one evening. I like the lacey look that the bigger needles produce. One skein was just enough for a nice sized scarf with fringes. I'll wear it out and about the town today and feel very pleased with myself. Although I don't think I'll use the chenille yarn too often. I prefer the look of Lion Brand Homespun when I'm doing the "lacey" thing. I used the Homespun to knit a giant coral scarf which I love. Although it is truely huge. People have scoffed. Oh well. So I'm trying to keep my first post/introduction brief so I don't bore you all right off the bat. I'll be back in the morning to tell you of my first disastrous knitting project. And on that cliffhanger, I bit you farewell. Because I can't spell Add-due.

Welcome to the RCTY group, Pam! Congratulations on teaching yourself to knit. Your scarves sound lovely and warm. I love cables, but haven't done them often.

In case you missed my post the other day.... if you would like to see some of the RCTY 'family' (no, I'm not there... haven't found my picture yet) just click on the URL following my signature. If you would like to be added, just send me a jpg picture of yourself to gemsawriter AT yahoo DOT ca and put RCTY Album in the subject line, and the name you use on here in the body of the message so I can add it to your picture. :o)

Thank you, Mirjam!

It's a "handle" I use on newsgroups and some other forums. But if you're asking like, "Are you THE Qintes?" then I'd have to say,yes, because I have encountered no other Qinteses in my travels.

Then I'll be sure not to post before I've had my morning coffee. :) Nah, my pre-coffee spelling is friendly too. It just looks like this; goooood mornizzzzzzzzzzz.....

It's not as exciting as one of my sewing stories. I was mending something and put the needle in my mouth to hold it for a second. One of my taste buds got stuck in the needle eye and I couldn't get it back out of my mouth! My husband just about took my needles off of me for good! I mean...who does that? I must have mutant taste buds.

Thank you!

:D Knitting nurses! That's cute. Yes, I was proud wearing my scarf. Even though it was warmish outside and my neck was hot. I still wore it everywhere! I always feel very fashionable in a scarf. I'm looking forward to getting to know you too! Pam

I'll master them someday. Maybe I'll try them with my next project.

Cool! Thanks! Pam

Not my first actually. My first was a scarf tube! It's my fourth. They seem to be turning out better with each one that I do. I hope that I'll be able to move on to bigger projects down the road. I keep trying to imagine what your hand knitted dress looks like. I imagine it's lovely! I was so impressed when I read that. How long did it take to knit a dress? Awesome.

Thank you! Pam
