Great Expectations ( why could her favourite book not be "It" by Stephen King?)

 



Pattern blurb

Pattern: Penguin book scarf

 Designer: Minxxy

Sourced from: Kerry wanted a penguin book inspired scarf, reflecting her favourite novel Great Expectations by Charles Dickens. There are no patterns out there so made my own, assisted by http://www.microrevolt.org/ knit pro programme for penguin graphic and good old fashioned graph paper and a biro to plot out the text

 Knitted for?: Kerry

Wool used: King Cole Merino DK

 Purchased from:- Clare at Wee County yarns http://www.wee-county-yarns.co.uk/ Excellent service as always

 Any problems with the pattern? Misspelled Dickens (DickenE) but noticed before I had secured the end of the Swiss darning, other than that, no hassles.

 Any modifications made?: Probably but since there was no pattern to follow there was no mods made…adjustments were ongoing throughout it all

 Washing and wearing: Should be alright according to the ball band BUT Kerry is in charge of washing… GULP!

Knit again?: No way, this is a one off original!

Next time, any changes to be made?: I would have liked it longer and narrower but time and yardage was against me. Kerry wanted it for the end of her placement at school.. I made it by to two days.

 Skills learned?: None but I did brush up on my Swiss darning. I should have knitted that text in as I went along……

General comments. I added a fleece backing as I didn’t want the intarsia back showing. In general, I am well chuffed with this…. But I don’t know how pleased Penguin books would be. **smiles nicely at the publisher**
