Life's a Stitch

I don’t know about Touch Me. I am in the process of felting it a second time as many of the worms disappeared, but not all. Another important note: this scarf was knitted lengthwise and after felting, the width of the scarf decreased far more than the length. So, I have a long skinny snake-like scarf with worms. Finally, I wouldn’t bother going through the trouble of  knitting in seed stitch because once it’s felted, it doesn’t show up. I’m about to sum this up as an expensive disappointment.

Update: the worms don’t completely disappear. I have had to get out a needle and thread and tack them back. After the second felting some of the worms went bald, leaving a loop of thread. I’m not likely to go through this again. A possible solution: since the worming is mostly along the edges, maybe I’ll add a crab stitch border of something contrasting; black kid silk mohair?

Caught in the act: Gracee Mae snuggled up on my Fair Isle. She’s thinking "If I don’t make eye contact with her maybe she won’t notice."
