t is always so satisfying to use up stash yarn I must say. I’ve had this nondescript bundle of bulky super wash wool for quite sometime. It was given to me by a friend who was de-stashing. Known as the “Craft Leftovers Girl” I often get donations of leftovers from other people’s projects. It’s like Christmas all the time. Anyway, I’ve had this yarn for sometime and finally made a hat with it. I love the subtle color striping, the green in blue are so close in value and shade that at first it is hard to distinguish the two. Well, just this week, with the turn of 18 degree weather and sleet storms on the way it was high time to get the scarf made. The scarf I had been using up until now was wonderful, my grandmas had made it for my mom, but a little on the lacy side. I needed something that would keep out the wind. A nice thick fabric. I opted for a 1×1 rib. After seeing my friend knitting a scarf in a 1×1 rib I was sold. It looks like a really thick stockinette stitch, but it doesn’t roll. Fabulous!
