My joinery:
knitting on the second border perpendicular to the scarf length
OK, so I don't use power tools, I don't make a lot of sawdust, and I don't know a nifty name for this type of "joinery," but knitting the second border of the wide-bordered scarf perpendicular to the scarf body, and attaching it to the scarf as I knit is fun. Grandma Adeline will have a new scarf! The Sea Silk is soft; I think she'll like it. FO pictures to follow soon.

Beautiful! And thanks to Antiques Roadshow, I can appreciate the work even more!! ;)
Sea Silk is wonderful, isn't it? She's just come out with a new one - Sea Wool... I picked some up last night, so soft and such wonderful colours!
Beautiful joinery of all kinds!
Lucky Grandma Adeline. That is such a beautiful color!
A little aside -- my husband used to count woodworking as a serious hobby until we moved 7 years ago. When I took up knitting and started acquiring needles, notions, supplies and YARN, he totally understood. He used to enjoy woodworking because he could "make sawdust" and have a visual reminder of how much he'd done. He gets it -- he knows why knitting is so satisfying to me.
I'd love to make something with Sea Silk (or even touch it) someday.
I love seeing the woodworking, too!
Both are wonderful outlets for creativity :-)
Very cool! My husband's brother is a cabinetmaker/furniture maker, so I am always treated to an "inside" look of cabinet works. Your scarf is just as impressive (and a lot less messy!). Great job!
