knittingI asked my circle this morning, but thought I'd ask here as well. I want to knit a scarf that's appearing in the upcoming Sherlock Holmes 2 movie (link below). I have the yarn, but I'm kinda paralyzed by what stitch to use.
Here's what I posted. Please note that I'm a newbie knitter, but have an okay hang of the basics.
Okay, flist, I need advice from my more experienced knitters. I've decided to knit the Hotson Scarf of Ultimate Warmitude but I'm paralyzed deciding the stitch.
1)Garter. Pro: easiest and fastest for me, won't lose track and mess up. Con: doesn't look particularly pretty or polished, but maybe that's just me.
2) Stockinette. Pro: pretty and professional looking. Con: Heard it curls and doesn't hang awesomely. Is this really inevitable? :(
3) Ribs. Pro: Very, very pretty and soft, hangs well. Con: Will lose track very easily and the original scarf looks nothing like that to me.
Thanks for any input!
