Last week I fell in love with this new stitch (called the linen stitch? thank you Tammy!) I learned about it from the scrappy lengthwise scarf as found here on Ravelry. I fell in love with every version of the scarf I saw and knew immediately I wanted to start knitting it. It's not as if I don't have a million other things going on right now (or other scarves only half knit), but I did it anyway. I went ahead and cast on the 400 stitches.
I had a big bag of wool crewel yarn from the thrift store in my stash and was drawn to it for this project. It must be the spring-like colors.
I played and played with color order and am not sure I will ever settle on anything...so I plan to just grab the next color skein at random and see what I come up with.
Chances are, I'll tire of it in a week...or find a new project that grabs my attention. My goal is to finish it before the snow all melts...which (by-the-way) we got four more inches of yesterday...
