finally finished

The scarf of doom is finished! It took forever - 40cm wide, 2 meters long on 4.5mm needles. I've used Noro Kureyon yarn striped with Hedgehog fibres sock yarn (now discontinued, but cashmere/merino would perform even nicer) in two odd colourways I've found in my stash. Two or three purplish brownish gray skeins and one semisolid brown. I held the sock yarn double, because Kureyon is much thicker. I love the muted but rich colours and random stripes add a bit of whimsy.

Nestastny sal je konecne hotovy. Trvalo mi to celu vecnost, tak sa mi zda. 40cm siroky, 2 metre dlhy na 4.5mm ihliciach, uff. Pouzila som Noro Kureyon vlnku a Hedgehog fibres ponozkovu vlnku (ktoru uz nepredavam ale cashmere/merino by bolo este lepsie) v takych dvoch divnych farbach, ktore som nasla zabudnute v skrini. Dve alebo tri hnedo fialovo sede a jednu hnedu. Velmi sa mi paci ako to nakoniec vyslo, take barsjake pruzky, hrubsie aj tensie.

I made the stockinette body of the scarf first and then picked up stitches along the sides for garter stitch edging to prevent curling. Also I wanted the edge to be solid colour, not striped. It was a bit fiddly but worth it.

Najprv som spravila 'telo' salu a potom som nabrala ocka po stranach a nastrikovala jednofarebnu obrubu. To bol hrozny proces, ale vyzera to super si myslim.


The wrong side came out quite nicely too - and I was a bit worried that I'll look ugly. I slipped all first stitches, which created nice chain at the edge.

Aj rubova strana neni na zahodenie, celkom vysla a to som sa obavala ze bude velmi skareda.

I'm very very pleased with the result. I almost want to keep it! It's a gift for a friend of mine, I hope she'll like it. Also it's not too scratchy as the sock yarn softens Noro yarn quite a bit.

Jooj ale sa mi paci tento salik, az ho ani nechcem dat prec. Ale je to darcek pre kamosku, dufam ze sa jej bude pacit (ak nie tak si ho necham hahahahaaaa).
