Sew Handy
I learned how to needlepoint and embroider in Girl Scouts when Girl Scout badges were earned by practicing “traditional girl activities.” My mom taught me how to use a sewing machine and, in fifth grade, I learned how to knit. I’m not sorry about learning Victorian-age skills, though, because they provide instant stress relief and a sense of accomplishment. Knitting, especially, has taught me…
It’s okay to make mistakes.
Miss a stitch? Rip out rows. Yarn’s knotted up? Untangle it. Don’t care for a pattern? Try a different one. Sometimes, I re-start a project several times and–guess what–I don’t yell non G-rated words (click here if you want to know when I do yell non G-rated words.)
Easy Two-Stitch Infinity Scarf Directions
- Using a size 10 1/2 inch circular needle, cast on 60 stitches. Place a stitch counter to mark the end of the round. Gauge doesn’t matter.
- K2 P2 for 4 rows.
- Knit in the round until yarn is almost finished, but leaving enough to rib until the end.
- K2 P2 for 4 rows.
- Bind off loosely, Weave in loose ends.
Finished scarf–mine measures 9 inches wide.
