The continued adventures in knitting
Well, I finished my second scarf. This one was for Jamie. I learned how to ease up my death grip on the needles a bit, which resulted in a much softer, much more relaxed scarf. I used Lion brand "Homespun" yarn for this one, which is a very soft and heavy weight yarn, but I found it liked to bunch up a lot and was generally a pain to knit for a complete novice. Still, that being said, 1 skein resulted in a nice long and wide scarf that drapes nicely.

Don't worry, you did fine.Homespun is a PITA to knit with even for someone whose been knitting for ages.The couple times I used it, I swore a blue streak casting on it it-the little loops kept sticking on the needle. I'm not a big fan of boucle yarn. It's too bad it's not smooth to knit with and have the texture pop out when you wash it.
It's a great-looking scarf. Doesn't look like a novice's handiwork. Great colour, too!
