Ever since I was a wee baby knitter… last year, I have wanted to make the "My so-called scarf". It’s one of three scarves I must make, the other two are the Multidirectional silk scarf,and the Vintage Velvet scarf from scarf style. I own the yarn for the silk one and I plan on getting the yarn for vintage velvet at some point soon since I have a fear it will be discontinued. Anyway I have tried making my so called scarf out of some mountain colors I bought and now some malabrigo. Granted both of them were fairly similar colorways (reds and burgundies) but neither one is working for me. It just doesn’t look as nice as I envisioned it. I suppose I’ll have to go manos shopping and find something a bit more dramatic for it. Anyway since I am desperate to find something to knit I tried broken rib with some brown sheep and it wasn’t working for me either. However I might make a horizontal drop stitch scarf out of it. I think it will be fairly interesting and a bit less girly than the other ones I have made.
The grand master plan went FLAT.
