Umm, grandpa's scarf isn't going very well. It looks very "hole-y". I put it down just to see if I was overthinking it, but I just picked it up again, and it still doesn't look right.

small strip of loose 1x1 ribbing, with visible holes

I'm thinking of using smaller needles -- that sample is knit using 4.5mm; I think 4.0 would be good enough, but I don't have any in that size yet. May try my 3.75mm if I can't drop by the yarn store any time soon.

Once I get this issue sorted out, hopefully things will go faster :-)


ETA: Switched to the 3.75 needles, and I am getting this deliciously dense cloth, and I love it.

It looks good to me! Of course, I'm not a knitter, just an appreciater of knitting, but I'm sure your grandpa will adore it.
