Im not sure if I have mentioned before that I am asthmatic. If you know anything about asthma meds, you know that nebulized meds can be very messy.. and sometimes time consuming.
SInce that is the case, I decided that I would pic a project to work on while I am nebbing. Currently I have 3 meds to neb back to back every 3-4 hours and that takes at least 30 minutes to do! UGH! Since it is liquid.. and I dont want to get my current designs or any paper work that I am doing covered in the meds.. I picked out a new project!
The Yarn I picked out Is a Crystal Palace Ribbon called Trio – that was 50% off on clearance at a local yarn shop I just visited today! I am knitting a scarf in Garter Stitch for ME!
Another thing all asthmatics need in the winter months is a scarf that wraps the nose and mouth in cold weather. This helps with prevention of an Asthma attack. I have been in dire need of a non-wool / animal fiber scarf for a very long time. This yarn is 50/50 nylon and polyester, so I think if I make it long enough.. it will do the trick! I have 110 yards and am using size 15 needles.
But what I love is the colorway. It is 3-way striped – White down the center and then on either side it shades in all sorts of bright colors from pink to green to orange to blues and purples. It will be bright.. and if I have to wear something covering my face… why not make it colorful?
Garter stitch scarves are fast and easy too. And A much needed no brainer these days as well. And as much as I have to neb these days… I will probably finish the scarf in 2 days!
