30 Day Knitting ChallengeDay 2 - What is currently on your needles? A Merc’s Pride Scarf from the game, Team Fortress 2. I wanted the scarf in real life and I wanted to try our colourwork. So, it’s two birds with one stone. The logo and stripes were done with intarsia and I used the 50-year-old metal knitting needles my grandmum gave me. :D I really like the feel of them. You can see the homemade bobbins at the top. lol. Made with paper and paperclips. :) Also, this was the project my previous post was referring to. hahaha. PS. The stockinette stitch curls, so the light blue stripes at the sides kinda “disappeared”. They’re still there, though.

30 Day Knitting ChallengeDay 1: What was your first finished project? I completed my first knitting project about 8 years ago. I was only 10. It doesn’t look too impressive, I know. It was my second time knitting, I only knew how to knit (they didn’t teach me how to purl) and I was 10… The lady at the yarn-store helped me cast-on, bind off, weave in the yarn, sew on the roses (in other words, everything) and all I did was knit. lol I remember only wearing it once, though, because the shirt got really loose after the first washing. We did hand-wash it extremely gently, but it still stretched. :( Funnily enough, I tried it on and it fits… Only problem is that it shows quite a lot of midriff. xD
