Hello there, I hope you've all had a good week. I'm back today with a really quick knit. I have been so cold this week and walking around Cardiff, I realised I haven't got a knitted scarf.
So, when I got back, I started looking for a really quick knit. I found the Kendal Mint Cake pattern over on The Wool Sanctuary.
I love Suzie Johnson patterns, she has some fun, quirky and quick knits, she taught Kirsty Allsopp to knit on Kirstie's Homemade Home.
I started it at 4.30pm on Monday evening and finished it at 6.45pm, with a couple of little breaks so probably two hours of knitting.
The pattern called for 15mm needles but the largest I had was 12mm, which worked but I just had to cast on a few more stitches, I used Rowan Big Wool, which I had in my stash, I could of got away with one ball but I wanted it a little bit bigger but I've got quite a lot left of the second ball so will make a smaller version for my 11 year old niece.
Check out other FO's over at Tami's blog.
Have a great weekend.

I love it, I love the needles too. The color suits you. I hope you had a nice Valentine's Day.
It's lovely! I totally need to make one of these :)
Nothing better than a quick and useful knit in squishy wool on big needles - WIN!
Beautiful colour - it looks very cosy. Thank you for the hotel name and the tip about that website - I have been browsing already and dropping hints to my husband! :)
Best wishes, Pj x

Quick knits are the best, they make me feel so accomplished you know? I love the scarf
Love those quick knits! It does look cozy.
Two hours!?! Girl, you're a rock star! That's major fast, even for a quick, chunky knit. And, it looks great to boot!
Awesom! Love the color and it looks so cozy.
Very clever xx
You really amaze me ... this looks fabulous and will really keep you warm.
Love it and it looks so soft! I just bought 25mm knitting needles as I need one of the pair to make broomstick crochet lace. Those needles are huge! :-)

This is what I love about knitters... We need something to keep us warm and voila, we make it! Beautiful work, as usual, Deb!
That looks amazing and for such a quick knit would be good for last minute presents!! (Not that I ever forget a birthday!!)
