I want to knit a scarf for my Mum. I need it to be REALLY simple to knit (and preferably to knit up quickly), but to look nice. It needs to be the sort of scarf you would keep inside your coat just showing at the neck, rather than a huge long tasselly type scarf. Anyone have a fab Honey-proof (as in, idiot proof
) pattern? I've been looking at this one http://www.marthastewart.com/page.jhtml?type=content&id=channel172064 [1]
but it says to use Aran wool and that's where I got all confused... I'm not sure if your Aran is our Aran, in fact I think maybe it's not, and isn't Aran a bit rough anyway? I'd rather use a soft yarn...what would substitute for Aran?
Maybe I should stick to dishcloths..... I know where I am with dishcloths
