I've started to make these stocking stitch scarves from oddments of wool in complementary colours. This one is actually in a variety of blues.

Studio RS - Post 1
So I've moved in, set up my knitting machine and started to learn to knit. OK, I've not set up my studio properly yet - no shelves, cupboards or drawers as such, but I'm getting there. I hope I never arrive, cause that'll mean I have to move on.
It's not as easy as I thought. The instruction booklet says that I could become efficiant enough to do 1 inch per minute. I was lucky to manage 1 inch in THREE HOURS! It's great fun though, so I'll carry on.
Update Feb 2012: After a few more hours of getting nowhere I gave up and packed the machine in its box and put it away. I think maybe the wool was not chunky enough, as it is suposed to be for thicker wools. I will either try again after my current art course is finished or offer it up for sale or something.
