Emma's Spidy

Now that her birthday has arrived and she has seen what I'm making for her, I can finally show off my latest project.  I got the spidy scarf pattern from Ravelry, it's called "October is for Spinners".

This pattern starts off using 4 strands of yarn and cuts down to 1 as it goes along.  It's kind of a pain knitting with multiple strands, I dealt with this by stabbing a shoe box with a scissors, seriously.  I put the four balls into the shoe box and fed the strands through, next time I think I will cut the holes with a scalpel coz the stabby method was less than efficient. 

I'm around a third of the way through making the scarf now and the pattern is really easy to follow.  The only thing I would say about it would be that when you're using the YO you don't knit as part of the YO like you would in normal patterns.

I have several patterns to add on to the blog for pillows which will be put up during my mid term.
