Passin' Along
Today, I sat down and knitted the 7" section required for my passalong scarf. I considered double-stranding the NORO Lily that I used, but I believed I wouldn't have enough to complete it properly. I think with proper blocking, it can become wider and even itself up compared to the previous two sections.
I bought a cheap stitch holder for Libbet, since her scarf didn't come with one (just a waste piece of yarn). I hope she likes my section! I used the same stitch she used on hers; I like how she noted down the stitch she used. It's nice and open. I can imagine using it someday for a light shawl.
Libbet's stitch:
Requires and odd number of stitches
Row 1: K all
Row 2: *(K1, S1) repeat until last stitch, K1
Row 3: K all
Row 4: K2, *(S1, K1) repeat until last three stitches, S1, K2
In order to compensate for my thin yarn, I used US15 needles. Sometimes, at that size with the thin yarn I used, it's hard to manipulate the stitches well. Plus, my tension seems uneven (even though it might not be). Thankfully, it all evens itself out in the end. As I noted, a good bit of blocking can put my section to right with the others.
This scarf will be sent off next week. I wonder how my scarf is doing.
