Reclamation is about reclaiming those unused one skeins in your stash. Any one skein of yarn will do. I decided to use this lovely Silky Wool made with 65% wool and 35% silk. The color reminds me of denim.
This was a easy knitting project. Something that doesn't require looking at the pattern over and over again. In fact, you only need to remember a few rows and keep repeating. Lately, I have been gravitating towards these kind of patterns. Maybe it's because it's very comforting when life around you gets stressful. I just knitted until I ran out of yarn.
It blocked beautifully and it's now ready to be gifted. I have a few friends who birthdays are coming up, so it's just a matter of deciding who gets this scarf.Pattern: Reclamation by Stephanie Japel, you can purchase the pattern from Ravelry or from her website.
Yarn: 1 skein (192 yds) of Elsebeth Lavold "Silky Wool" , color 35
Needles: US 9/ 5.5mm

lovely colour of blue - sounds like my kind of pattern - easy to remember the repeats :)
It looks so nice and would make a great gift too, not to mention a great stashbusting idea.
Cute! Also, it's always good to get ideas about what to do with those one-off skeins. Oh, how they plague me!
I love one-skein projects! Thanks for the inspiration! It looks lovely! I think it would make a fantastic present!
What a great one-skein project - and it will make a lovely gift!
Beautiful! You're inspiring me to pick up some neglected knitting. (I've been on such a sewing kick lately!)
Very cute! You make me want to knit!
The silky wool is such a nice yarn for that pattern. Beautiful! It looks like a project that will get a lot of wear.
Simple one skein projects can be so soothing! The color is beautiful.
Cute all the way! Love repeating patterns.
Very nice. You are right about choosing simple stitch patterns in times of stress! Love the color with the denim jacket.
Love your one-skein project! Great colour too! Knitting can be a real stress buster!
Oooh yes, very nice. Great colour, and a fab way to put a single skein to good use. I'm also fond of the good mindless knits as a way to wind down and relax.
This is a good one skein yarn project.
beautiful. i just love it.
Lovely blue, lovely scarf.
So cool! And I happen to have one skein of that yarn that has been lingering around my craft room for a looong time. Thanks for the link! :)
happy earth day! Your reclaimation is just beautiful. I adore that color!
cute scarf! I have been collecting one skeins lately, so it's always helpful to find a good pattern to go along with a ball of yarn (darn those indie dyers on ravelry!) :)
