Double knitted moonstone scarf completed!!!!

| October 1, 2013

Ok, the bind off was far harder than knitting the thing! It’s simple and yet complicated, hard to explain, it’s like snooker, the principals of the bind off are logical and simple, achieving them is not! I’m really proud of my scarf, it looks ace. Now all I need are a hat and mitts to […]
