I’m at 8 or 9 YO’s and I still have about 30 grams of yarn left. I don’t want this thing to be huge, my sections don’t need to be more than 3 inches for this scarf, it’s spring.

I’m going to have to tink back, I missed a YO somewhere since I started the ssk portion of the pattern. I love the pattern, I can see it working with so many different type of yams, but golly if you miss one YO….

I tinked back past a couple of problems, one with missed YO, and another with at least two missed dropped stitches. Takes so long to tink back, I also knitted back up to where I started. I THINK I have this down now. I just need to be very precise and read my knitting. I love this pattern though. I can envision it knitted with so many different yarns.

I totally should have cast on with a size or two larger needle. I’ll remember to do that next time I knit this. There will be a next time. :)

I’m on the home stretch. I love this pattern. This yarn however has a lot of “slubs”. I don’t mind the thick and thin parts of the yarn, but big hunks of fiber that I have to pick out is a bit annoying. I won’t use this yarn to knit my sister a gift. It’s fine for me however :)

Finished knitting. The cast on edge is waaaay tighter than the bind off edge. I have to learn a stretchy cast on already. SMH. I’ll try to fix that as much as possible when I block. I only had a small amount of yarn left out of the two skeins, 10 YOs each section, 150 stitches.
The photo with the remaining yarn is the most true color.

iknitwithcatfur - instructional YouTube on the Twisted German cast on. Gives more stretch. Another option would be to cast on with a larger needle as well.
