I decided to make the Lace Ribbon Scarf using my beautiful skein of Sundara silk and merino 4ply yarn (won from a lucky raffle draw!). I started it about a month ago and it's growing pretty quickly but the skein seems like it's decreasing in size only marginally! Ah well, it's a useful small project that I have in my bag at all times, so I get lots of knitting done on the tube into work.
This is my scarf so far - quite long already, and it's so soft and warm!
That's something I've had to get used to, by choosing to knit on the tube you expose yourself to poorly hidden stares and curiosity of the general public. However, it's been my experience that occassionally some people will strike up a conversation with you! I love it when I see others knitting in public especially on the tube where everyone works extremely hard to not make eye contact and pretend to be absolutely absorbed in their book/ paper. Anyway, I find it's the perfect way to get going with a small simple project:)
I'm looking for a good sock pattern at the moment to replace this scarf as my transportable project once it's finished. I've made 2 pairs of simple plain socks but I think I'm ready for something a bit more complex now - maybe a cable pattern or lace socks, the possibilities are endless!
