Soft Scarf Progress

This is slow going. I’m knitting this very slowly because I’m so scared the slippery yarn will slide off the needle if I go too fast. And this is on bamboo needles, which are supposed to have a little more grip.
I started by casting on 8 stitches on 6 mm needles, then I kept increasing one stitch every row in stockinette until I had 88 stitches. Then I just knit until it was almost as long as I wanted it. Then I’m decreasing one stitch at the end of every row until I have 8 stitches again. It’ll end up like a long rectangle with a point at each end.
It’s pretty slow, but it’s so pretty. Soft as a cloud and light as air. The color is even cloud-like. Hmm, maybe the soft scarf needs a new name.

I found this really soft kind of fuzzy yarn at dollarama (local dollar store) of all places. It’s probably the thinnest yarn I’ve ever worked with. I’m doing a triangle in stockinette on 6mm needles.
It’s light as air and super soft. I can’t wait to wear it with my spring coat when the snow finishes melting.
