Malabrigo March – My So Called Scarf finished at #genYTO

March 06th, 2009 | Category: fun,knitting

Malabrigo March is one of my favorite knitting months of the year, mostly because I have an excuse to knit almost exclusively with Malabrigo. I have some lovely bright varigated shades that I’ve been trying to find patterns for and finally came across the My So Called Scarf pattern, which I think shows off the changing colours very well. I cast on Wednesday and knit a bunch of it while at #genYTO #canlit last night.

I probably should have gone down a few needle sizes (so to an 8/9 instead of an 11) for the Malabrigo yarn to have a tighter fabric, but I quite like that this is a little looser. In part, because I envision this scarf as being used on a hot summers day in an overly air conditioned office. So it seems like having it be a little airy works better.

p.s. can you spot the #genYTO button?

    I have that pattern in my rav list. It waas one of the choices we could use in the hypnosis case study i just finished.
    I chose a crochet pattern, so I haven’t made it yet, but i like the way yours came out. I’m such a sucker for bright colors… haha..
    why malabrigo? never used it or touched it to my knowledge. but it’s sure seems special to every one else.

    Try touching some Malabrigo and you’ll understand the obsession :)
