Pretty in Pink
It probably looks like I'm about to bind off on the world's fanciest washcloth...
...but believe me. When this baby grows up, she's going to be a pretty pink scarf.
The pattern is Forbes Forest by Kathy Zimmerman, from Scarf Style, and it is so fun to knit. It took only a few rows to memorize, and now it's easy to knit and yet much more interesting than my usual mindless stockinette or ribbed scarf, because every other row there are cables and bobbles to make!
Back to knitting!
P.S. The above link to Forbes Forest takes you to a picture of it on Knit Picks' website. The picture doesn't give much detail, but the description beside it made me laugh. I just think it's funny that this pattern is described as masculine. I suppose it's a masculine scarf. Clearly I'm supposed to think it's masculine since a MAN is wearing it. But I guess I just don't see why it's not feminine as well. What constitutes a masculine scarf or a feminine scarf? Must a scarf have lace or fringe to be feminine? Anyway, I guess I'm making damned sure it's feminine by knitting it with pink yarn! Or maybe it's a masculine scarf that's in touch with its feminine side.
