Looking through my stash, I picked out a single ball of fingering yarn that I bought at Yarn Fest a couple years ago. I decided I could use the scarf pattern Brickless and be assured that the yardage would work out fine, and I could probably use up the entire ball. Since it's fingering weight, I cast on with size 3 needles. The yarn is ModeWerk Flow, 100% Superwash Merion, a product of South Africa, hand-dyed in Minnesota.
I decided to work from the center of the ball, and as the yarn came lose, it was very kinky. Those first few inches of knitting will look a lot more relaxed after it has been blocked. Right now I think it looks kind of funny.
I'm interested to see what the scarf looks like as the yarn goes from white to purple...
Color changes are so much fun in a skein like this. Brickless is in my favorites for a SOMEDAY knit
ReplyDeleteThat's a pretty pattern, in my favorite small shawl shape.
ReplyDeleteThat's the fun of variegated yarn ---- just how will it play out! Have fun!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun yarn colors and a great pattern to showcase them.
ReplyDeleteI want to start a Brickless scarf in the next couple of weeks.
How fun! I didn't notice the purple until you mentioned it. Nice to add a touch of color, eh? One aof these days, I'm going to try Brickless, too.
ReplyDeleteOoh, that's going to be pretty! Looking forward to the color change.

ReplyDeleteVery nice!
ReplyDeleteLove the yarn.
I am anxious to see the finished project.
It looks so delicate and vintage ... It's already beautiful but I can imagine it will be amazing when finished with that color!
