Love.

The Lace Ribbon Scarf is finished and off the needles.


I love this scarf so much, it was hard for me to see it go. But in the end, it made it's way into Joe's sister's hands. She loved it.


It was an enjoyable knit. A quick knit. It was also a great way to use up one of those skeins of sock yarn I had laying around.



The specifics:
Pattern: Lace Ribbon Scarf from the latest issue of Knitty.
Needles: US #3
Yarn: Dream in Color Smooshy, Gothic Rose colorway.
Gauge: Somewhere between 5.5 - 6 stitches and inch.
Modifications: Cast on 44 stitches for a narrower scarf.
Notes: This was a fun pattern. It was easy to memorize, but surprisingly, not at all boring. The final scarf was 8 inches wide, and 4 feet, 4 inches long. When all was said and done, I had about 2 ounces of yarn still left! I highly recommend this pattern and have every intention of knitting one of these for myself!

Your scarf is gorgeous - and the color is amazing.

I have a really silly question. This pattern seems extremely simple. Yet I was confused: In the pattern notes, when mentioning the 2yo, it says to work (p1, k1) into each 2yo on the ws row. But is that part written into the actual pattern? I've tried this a few times and can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I'm sure it's something simple and would appreciate any help.

Thanks,
Heidi
