The main yarn I used was recycled from a cotton sweater - it is a marled black/grey/white mix. That is the part that was done on the knitting machine. For the white part, I picked up the stitches and knit with some spare yarn that I had left over from another project. I really like how it turned out.
Second up is a project I started while watching the NFC Playoffs. They are gold mittens - in honor of the Packers. :)
They've got a chain cable running down the center. I think I'll call them the "movin' the chains" mittens. I've got to work out the kinks a bit, but I think I may write up a pattern for these as well.
Those mittens are gorgeous! As a crocheter, I'm such a sucker for knit cables. Cables just look better when they're knit. Beautiful.

That's such a great cable. Congratulations on the first machine knit!
ReplyDeleteLovely scarf! Does the machine-knitting stockinette still roll at the edges or does it lie flat?
