from handspun to scarf

A few months ago I finished spinning this ball of yarn and I finally cast on a seed stitch scarf with it.

The weather's starting to cool off, and I'm realizing I need some more wintery clothes! Not that I don't already have a zillion scarves, hats, and mittens, but one can never have too many.

This will be my very first project that I've knit with a handspun ball of yarn, and even better, a ball of yarn I've spun myself! Pictures to come soon!

varigated seed stitch scarf

Just yesterday I finished knitting this scarf up - used exactly 1 skein of TLC Essentials, with nothing left over! I cast on 19 stitches, did a seed stitch throughout, which made this zig zag pattern throughout - I did about 5 inches with 20 stitches cast on, but wasn't crazy about the checkerboard pattern that came out, so with one stitch less, the zig zag is created.

I'm debating whether to put a fringe on this or not, it may be cool. I've got an idea to make 'curly' fringes, but I'll save that idea/project for another day.
