Belated FO report
By JC | November 28, 2012
A year ago, I had an idea for a scarf. Months ago, I knit the scarf. And I was disappointed: given my limited yarn supply, the scarf ended up narrower than I’d hoped for. And so I neglected to blog about it. (It’s a flimsy excuse, but it’s my excuse, and I’m sticking to it.)
But then the weather got decidedly nippy this past week. And while tidying up, I came across the nearly-forgotten scarf. I tried it on.
What do you know, I really like it, despite its narrow width – or, dare I say, perhaps because of the narrow width?
The idea was to knit an endless loop scarf, with a variety of wearing options. First up, the classic loop:
stylish!
My favorite option is simply to wear it doubled:
oh so comfy
But tripling it creates a cozy cowl:
extra warm!
Had the scarf been wider, I don’t think it would be as wearable. Rather, I think it would be a bit too bulky. As it is, it’s nearly perfect.
Vital stats: Fiesta 32º, Ballet, and La Luz. (The sampler skein of La Boheme refused to knit up at a gauge reasonably close to the others, and so got omitted from the scarf.)
If you look closely at the photos, you’ll see that one side is matte, and the other is a bit shiny. That’s because all the purl welts on one side were knit from 32º, and the welts on the other side alternated between Ballet and La Luz. I’m quite happy with the results. 🙂
