New Technique

Well, tonight I began the Touch Of Whimsy Scarf (above example NOT my work) by Whimsical Knitting Designs. I'm using green (with very subtle shading) AraucaniaWool. It has turned out so far so good, except I can never seem to get the hang of the whole "cabling without a cable needle" thing. It's not that hard, really, it's just that I do tend to get confused as to which way to grab, from the front or the back, and then certain cables end up going the wrong way. It's not a very wide scarf, but blocked it's going to be quite pretty. I'll need to soak it to soften it. OK- so what I really wanted to say is that I tried a new technique- the i-cord cast-on. Here's a link. It was easy and made a nice looking edging. Try it!
