This is actually the third trial of knitting one of these crazy things. This is the most successful of my past three attempts so far. For this run I used most of a skein of Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick & Quick (leftover from holiday wrapping, lol) and size 13 circular needles. I used moss stitch because my previous experiments resulted in horrible looking ribs and weird uneven knit.
I think for the next round I'll make it a little longer and wider. For now, this is enough to keep out the cold.
When I pulled the finished scarf out of my purse my cat immediately went to town. I think he likes it!
I made it over to the Needle Nook on Briarcliff yesterday and and got enough goodies to make another one in luxurious Malabrigo Chunky. The I will post the final awesomeness when it gets finished. I think it will be lovelier and warmer than anything I could buy. So exciting!

ReplyDeleteThe scarf looks great. Did you knit in flat or in the round? Your kitty is so cute!
ReplyDeleteP.S. Malabrigo is my favorite yarn of all. I love that it feels so smooth on your hands.

ReplyDeletei coudlnt help but post i absolutely melt when i see cats, which explains why somehow mine makes a cameo in every other post -_-
Hello! I just came across your blog while searching on how to knit an infinity scarf on circular needles. I love this scarf! I have never used circular needles before (and I seriously know like one stitch). I guess once you get your lenght that you want on the circular needles you just start picking up the stitches from the other needle that you normally do?

Chapstick Fanatic--For this specific scarf I cast on a really long row (maybe 200 stiches or so?) and then joined the row at the ends to make a big circle. And then if you continue knitting around it builds the scarf in a tube in a really big spiral. Hope that makes sense!
