fancy knittin'

It's been such a long time since I have finished something, but this has been soooo worth the wait (and the effort).






It's a super yummy scarf that is wide enough to be worn as a wrap. It's made out of a 50/50 merino wool & silk blend, dyed in gradations of grays through purples and then into lavender.

My mods:
Did “5x more” on the increase section, so scarf=95 sts wide (set-up used about 43g)
Did “14x more” on the straight section (ea repeat used about 12g)

The yarn is from my Crack Dealer (I mean, an Indie Yarn Dyer) at Twisted Fiber Arts
This was 3 skeins of the "Catnip" yarn base dyed in the colorway "Warlock" Evolutions (the top two photos are the most accurate color representation). I had 10g of yarn remaining.


Here's a shot of it blocking so you can see how the transitions played out. This scarf is knit on the bias, and there are dropped stitches to create that open work. (all you knitter folk know all this already because there have been what, close to 15,000 Clapotis knit so far?? I bet you have done one yourself! These explanations are for the non-knitters, just to keep them entertained)

The scarf blocked out to be 19”W x 75”L, so it's plenty ample...but super soft and squishy. I think we have a couple more chilly mornings on the radar, so I'll get to use it a few times this season before summer hits.
