More mufflers

Over the festive season I was invited to Emily's parents for dinner and drinks. Emily's mother admired my muffler and asked if i'd make her some to go with her new coat. She offered to pay me, but I was more than glad to make them anyway. She brought round the yarn she'd chosen on Tuesday night and I finshed them off yesterday. They really are a quick make and easy to do.

Here are the finished articles.

The pink one is in Aran weight yarn used double throughout.

The cream one is in chunky yarn and feels incredibly soft.

Both are in acrylic.

Pattern here.

I blocked them this morning, again using the steamer, but this time without the pressing attachment, just a hose. I then dried them off with a hairdryer as I was too impatient to wait. I even managed it without the hassle of last time.

I just wanted to stretch out the pattern and you can see the difference it makes.

These were scanned, I got the idea from Bonnie at 'Toward the Blue Peninsula' who scans all of her knitting, it is a particularly good way of showing stitch patterns.

Jackie has just been to pick them up and has exchanged them for a fine bottle of wine. Hmm, knitting for wine, I think i'm onto something... although not knitting with wine, that could be disasterous.


She was also kind enough to let me keep the remaining yarn. The pink was out of a 400g ball so there is plenty left for other projects.
