Halfway Done

November 8th, 2008 by monnibo | Knitting, Personal, WIP

So with the yarn from Calorimetry, I decided to try again to make something for myself. I need a scarf, I have a new coat (it is turquoise so purple matches), and I wanted something quick.

Thus, the YO-drop-stitch scarf was begun. Reeeeally easy, but I found the pattern on Ravelry. It’s so simple that I don’t really think a pattern is needed, but if you’d like to see where I found it, visit Curly Purly patterns (bottom of the page, free PDF).

I’m using both purples that I got at the Three Bags Full sale (holding them double stranded). I think holding them together gives a plain scarf pattern a lot more depth. I think that it’s giving the yarn a kind of heathered effect. Do you like it?

P.S. Look at the first picture. Does anyone know how to get my CO edge to stop rounding at the corners?

    Love it! I’ve made this one before. It’s easy, it’s quick, it looks great. Whoohoo….success.

    I love it! The purple is great! I am wanting to learn how to knit as well.

    Very pretty! I’ve seen so many versions of that pattern or patterns like it and knit them myself – and every one has its own special beauty!

    I get a bit round at the edges, but not a ton. What I tend to do on the first few rows of anything is sort of rearrange and tighten the first 3-4 stitches at the edges as I’m going through – I’m just as likely to have them be all loosey goosey funny looking, so that helps me sort them out a bit.

    I love the second pic of the 2 colours together! Looks good. I’m not sure how to fix the rounded corners.

    That’s gorgeous! Those colors look perfect together. Maybe you can straighten out the corners when you block it? I get that too whenever I do the airy scarf from Last-Minute Knitted Gifts. So frustrating…
