I think it's this scallop-edge baby blanket. But if it's not... I'm halfway through a row and I'll have to tink any mistakes. Dangerous enterprise - wish me luck!
Here's what it ought to look like:
"Jamie snorted briefly and picked up a needle and a ball of yarn.
"‘It's no verra difficult, Sassenach. Look – this is how ye cast up your row.’
Drawing the thread out through his closed fist, he made a loop round his thumb, slipped it onto the needle, and with a quick economy of motion, cast on a long row of stitches in a matter of seconds. Then he handed me the other needle and another ball of yarn.
‘There – you try.’”
"It was additionally disconcerting to have madame knitting all the way there, in a public conveyance; it was additionally disconcerting yet, to have madame in the crowd in the afternoon, still with her knitting in her hands as the crowd waited to see the carriage of the King and Queen."
Cast on 34 stitchesKnit 2, *Purl 1, wrap yarn over, Purl 2 together, Knit 1*Repeat ** to endAll rows are the same, repeat to desired scarf lengthCast off
Absolutely fantastic!
