Scribbling

Ever since I saw the first example of scribble scarves, I've wanted to try one. Must confess, it's not as easy as it looks. I used wool with a cotton crochet thread per the Mason Dixon patterns. The cotton thread edges are very uneven and not easy to fix. I suppose that is one of the challenges that they warn knitters about when one attempts to knit with yarns that are this extreme in thickness and thinness.



I've already ripped this out. I did find a couple or three more patterns. Lion Brand has a very straightforward scribble scarf of Knit 2 rows, change to other yarn, knit 2 rows, etc. Crystal Palace has a pattern for a scribble scrabble scarf that I would also like to try.

What I did do was to combine the Lion pattern with the Crystal Palace yarn suggestions, particularly the kid merino. The kid merino was easier to work with than cotton thread and holds up well. The results are passable, but the two rows of thick yarns don't do it for me. I want that single fat strand suspended with barely visible thins. So more from me next time on this one....
