I knitted a long rectangle...
...from hairy synthetic yarn...
...stitched it together at the short ends...
...and a narrow infinity scarf was born!
Using silk yarn in two colors...
...I tried to puzzle out how to change colors, mid-project...
...but gave up when the piece was only washcloth sized!
(P.S. Tying knots may not be the best route!) :)
Using yarn made with 94% wool...
...but blended with some sort of stretchy, synthetic fibers...
...I fashioned another infinity scarf.
It won't surprise any of my regular readers...
...that the way I approach my nascent knitting projects...
...is just as experimental a method as the one I used when I was a beginning feltmaker! :)
Using yarns of different materials and thicknesses from my stash...
...and using a straight 'knit' stitch...
..I'm seeing what kinds of functional objects I can make...
...from different sized balls of yarn!
Next time: the joy of blocking. :)

I love that you are experimenting. I am a failed knitter. :).
Your scarfs are very pretty. I absolutely Love all your felting projects. I also enjoyed reading and seeing all the photo of the Farm Show. Hugs Judy
Kelly--I have a project coming up that features handspun yarn that I think I received from you?!?
Could that be right?
Judy-How sweet of you to say so! I started with my least favorite knitting projects, so there will be ones with prettier, 'woolier' yarn ahead. Stay tuned! :)
Well, you learn quickly from experiments while having fun, so it seems the right way to go about it!
You're doing good so far. No reason you can't get better. :)
Thanks, Rachel and Sandie!
