A while ago I made a scarf that looked like this:
It's pretty bad considering a scarf won't keep you too warm all curled up and scared like that. It was even knitted twisted as you can see on the top left part of it. The pattern looked like this:
Not a bad pattern I guess, but I remember it being really tedious when I was making it. I decided to tear out all of the wool and give it another go. This time, knitting it in a pattern that will be easy for me to use and keep the scarf nice and straight. Also, not having a twisted scarf would be nice.
So I tore out the wool to make a new ball. First I found the loose string I had tied in, and began to weave it out from the scarf. Once it was loose, I began to untie it, and unwind all of the stitching. As you'll see by the picture below, I came across some tangles that didn't make my final ball.
So then I knit it all back again. This time, I used a seed stitch where I knit two, purled two, then switched after two rows. As you can see the pattern turned out well, the scarf lays flat and I didn't twist it! I wish I could say that this got me excited for colder weather, but I'm perfectly happy with the cool summer we're having. It's like spring liked me so much it decided not to leave, ever, and I'm fine with that.
