Being a Good Auntie

[mrs_sweetpeach]

I promised to make scarves for our two young nieces. Little did I know the yarn I said I'd use is no longer available. Not even on eBay. So I went shopping and bought a variety of yarn, as close to the requested color as I could get, and started knitting. I wasn't thrilled with any of the resulting scarves and went shopping again. This time I began combining different yarns, trying to come up with a better match. I now have seventeen scarves. I think I need psychiatric help.

Step one: Admited that I was powerless over knittin, and my scarves had become unmanagable... ;-)

Oh, gosh, that is hilarious! You will have to come over here sometime, eat with us at Marie Catrib's, and see how many projects I have going that are all the same...

Wow :)

I started knitting a scarf using merino wool yarn in colors gray and black. I've been just doing a simple k2, p2 row; p2 k2 row, etc but decided the scarf might end up too "stiff". Looking at yours, while I like the bias stitch ones, I know I wouldn't be able to keep track considering I only do a few rows a day and usually while I am watching TV (no, I can't concentrate on both). I've been wondering what else I could try and am now considering the moss stitch.

The gray yarn was originally used along with burgundy in a garter stitch scarf, but I'd made it too short & too wide (well, also a mouse had chewed a hole in part of the burgundy so I washed the scarf) & I just wasn't happy with it to begin with anyway so I took it apart (and am reusing the gray with black).
