When you’re finalizing the details of a pattern and something about the cast-on and bind-off you developed especially for the design don’t ring true but your notes are incomplete so you spend the day knitting another sample to be certain… Just another 2020 Tuesday. Fortunately, Blank Slate Yarns‘ skeins are ample. . #BlankSlateYarns #CrosstalkScarf #HandknitScarf #ScarfKnitting #ScarfKnittersOfInstagram #CableScarf #CableKnit #CableKnitting #KnittersOfInstagram #MenWhoKnit #GuysWhoKnit #GayKnitter #RealMenKnit #BeardedKnitter #PNWknitters #WAknitters #SJIknitters #KnittingIsMagic (at San Juan Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEnfqpOJG7n/?igshid=rtns49rvt950

The pattern sample of my Hallgrim Scarf is completely knit except for binding off! Charts and large chunks of instructions are ready for the pattern. . #HallgrimScarf #HandKnitScarf #ScarfKnitting #ScarfKnittersOfInstagram #TwistedRib #CableScarf #CableKnit #CableKnitting #KnittersOfInstagram #MenWhoKnit #GuysWhoKnit #GayKnitter #RealMenKnit ##PNWknitters #WAknitters #SJIknitters #KnittingIsMagic (at San Juan Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCcjAXZJqMb/?igshid=whg4eatelp7b

Less than a foot of twisted rib before cable motifs at the far end of my Hallgrim Scarf. I’ll go as far as I can without starting another skein, nearly 7 feet, but the pattern will give yardage per foot for knitters to work their own length. I’m fascinated by this yarn—black fibers intertwined with natural gray/white shades. . #HallgrimScarf #HandKnitScarf #ScarfKnitting #ScarfKnittersOfInstagram #TwistedRib #CableScarf #CableKnit #CableKnitting #KnittersOfInstagram #MenWhoKnit #GuysWhoKnit #GayKnitter #RealMenKnit ##PNWknitters #WAknitters #SJIknitters #KnittingIsMagic (at San Juan Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCPpMwrJHtw/?igshid=1omjmqd8t4c4v

Closer. Samples blocked and photographed. But the cables STRETCH. So, based on lengths people prefer, I’ll detail 5 and 7 foot lengths, plus knit-your-own length guidelines. . #CrosstalkScarf #HandknitScarf #ScarfKnitting #ScarfKnittersOfInstagram #CableScarf #CableKnit #CableKnitting #KnittersOfInstagram #MenWhoKnit #GuysWhoKnit #GayKnitter #RealMenKnit #BeardedKnitter #PNWknitters #WAknitters #SJIknitters #KnittingIsMagic (at San Juan Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCCjqEhJstx/?igshid=1vfmwxkl15fgc

Satisfying Saturday afternoon. Knitting never seems to go quite as smoothly when I record it, but work enough purls through the back loop and it’s just another stitch. . #HallgrimScarf #HandKnitScarf #ScarfKnitting #ScarfKnittersOfInstagram #TwistedRib #CableScarf #CableKnit #CableKnitting #KnittersOfInstagram #MenWhoKnit #GuysWhoKnit #GayKnitter #RealMenKnit ##PNWknitters #WAknitters #SJIknitters #KnittingIsMagic (at San Juan Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/CB9l2Depur2/?igshid=nd5sezqi40jb

So, ribbing anyway. Thousands upon thousands of twisted stitches between cabled ends. The scarf that became the prototype for this pattern is 6-1/2 feet long, but I know not everyone likes their scarves as dramatically long. Comment, please, what length of scarf you prefer. 😁 . #HallgrimScarf #HandKnitScarf #ScarfKnitting #ScarfKnittersOfInstagram #TwistedRib #CableScarf #CableKnit #CableKnitting #KnittersOfInstagram #MenWhoKnit #GuysWhoKnit #GayKnitter #RealMenKnit ##PNWknitters #WAknitters #SJIknitters #KnittingIsMagic (at San Juan Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/CB67CKRJtNT/?igshid=1umow8cdklyie

Let the cabling commence. Fair warning: While I simultaneously write out instructions for the cable motif and knit the sample, I am apt to make less sense to the outside world than usual. “Sl1 wyif, p1tbl, k1, p1tbl, k2, c1f, c1b, k1,” indeed. . #HallgrimScarf #HandKnitScarf #ScarfKnitting #ScarfKnittersOfInstagram #CableScarf #CableKnit #CableKnitting #KnittersOfInstagram #MenWhoKnit #GuysWhoKnit #GayKnitter #RealMenKnit ##PNWknitters #WAknitters #SJIknitters #KnittingIsMagic (at San Juan Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBwyIZqpyt-/?igshid=1d23jtw6podlv

No idle hands. For those times I can’t be writing my Crosstalk Scarf pattern, I’m working out instructions for my Hallgrim Scarf. The @SandnesGarn Peer Gynt wool is from Norway, geographically nearest I have to Iceland’s Hallgrimskirkja, which inspired Charles Gandy’s Hallgrim design. —————————— Hallgrim motif used with permission of Charles Gandy. —————————— #HallgrimScarf #CharlesGandy #HandKnitScarf #ScarfKnitting #ScarfKnittersOfInstagram #CableScarf #CableKnit #CableKnitting #KnittersOfInstagram #MenWhoKnit #GuysWhoKnit #GayKnitter #RealMenKnit ##PNWknitters #WAknitters #SJIknitters #KnittingIsMagic (at San Juan Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBuHWQ2pwBk/?igshid=1nqpzbqcki2m4
