Notes

My mom commented on the Sizzle Pop I was working on while we were in Berlin, and I offered to knit her a scarf or shawl. I picked out a dozen or so pattern ideas and let her choose.

October 23, 2018

Since I/we picked out a Light Fingering yarn (Stroll Tonal) i decided I’m going to use US2 needles and add an extra pattern repeat.

It definitely isn’t because I just got a new HiyaHiya interchangeables and finally have US2 & US3 needles.

On second thought, same number of pattern repeats.

finished the scarf today by grafting front and back together. feeling really conflicted about the sides. the stitches are super uneven so i feel like i need to crochet an edge on them just to hide them.

December 14, 2018

Upon blocking, I’m still pretty unhappy with the edge. Honestly, it should have had a slipped stitch edge. I usually do that regardless of pattern instructions, but decided to defer to the expert in this case and I’m really unhappy with it. On the double knit portions, the outer stitches are even, but on the brioche portions, the outer stitches are _super_ uneven.
