It Felt Like Infinity
I haven’t clicked my needles lately. But I have good reason. Really good reason. Or… reasons.
I got this wise idea last year to knit matching infinity scarves for my three lady friends. I found the GAP-tastic pattern and immediately fell in love with it. Simple. Trendy. Useful. So I casted on with light brown yarn and got started. I finished in about 2 months. And then I casted on with pink yarn. I finished it in about 3months. Finally, I casted on with purple yarn. Six months later, on Thanksgiving Day, I wove in the ends. And it will be a very, very, very long time before I even blink at another pattern that has a seed stitch. But the screaming fingers and 11-month time line was well worth it. Because they were perfect.
For Natalie, a natural color.
For Abby, a bright and lively color.
For Kelly, my Little Skipper, purple. When I look at her, I see purple.
Squishy. Warm. Perfect for a cold winter day. I really want one for myself… but I will be waiting a long while before I even decide what color I want. Just the thought of knitting the seed stitch over and over and over again… yeah, it will be a long, long while.

I am so impressed that you made all three of these. I would have given up after the first one. But they turned out perfect!
These are too cute! I have no idea what a seed stitch is but it makes me not want to run into one in a back alley.
Lovely work lady.
I’m doing a seed stitch infinity scarf right now. My second in a row. I know what you are talking about. Lovely work my friend!
Ugh. I send nothing but lovely knitting thoughts your way as you battle through the K1P1.
What is funny is that you had just casted on the brown when you came over to teach me how to knit!! That was a long time ago missy.
These are amazing. me next, please.
So fantastic! That is talent my friend. Those are so stinking cute!!
So… is this a bad time to tell you that I WANT ONE!
