Just finished the infinity scarf for a friend.

Nothing like drinking a hot caramel coffee dream while knitting and watching your favorite Hallmark movie! Happy Sunday to all.

Probably that cotton and chunky yarn I used earlier. So I need to do a bit of dentistry on her! 😬😬😬😬

World records 1. The record for the longest knitted scarf stands at 4,565.46 metres. That’s nearly three miles. It was knitted by Helge Johansen of Oslo, Norway, and took him 30 years. We’re concerned about how he kept warm for those three decades before the scarf was finished.  2. The largest number of people to be knitting together in one room is 3,083 and the record was achieved by the Women’s Institute (naturally) in The Royal Albert Hall in 2012. 3. The fastest hand-knitted ‘sheep-to-jumper’ item was made in 4 hours 45 minutes and 53 seconds by a team in Swalmen, Netherlands in 2017. We don’t know how this was done and we don’t wish to, as we can’t bear to spoil the mental image of someone clicking their needles, taking wool directly off an ever-decreasing sheep. 

150g, 100% acrylic, 410yd/5.29oz or 375m/150g, weight 3 light worsted DK, S-twist, gradient and self-striping colours. Available in Jo-Ann Stores in the USA. It was available at Spotlight in Australia but just has been discountinued (to my disappointment). It ran extremely smoothly in the Sentro. It seemed to just glide trough. It also was lovely to handknit and crochet with. It is a very soft yarn. I was disappointed with the first ball I tried as it had two knots before I did 100 rows in the machine and for some reason the colour pattern between the knots was inverted in comparison to the rest of the ball (see second picture). However none of the other balls I wound had any knots. I came to the conclusion that I was just unlucky with my first ball.
