Uncle Argyle (one week later)


This scarf is taking forever! I've tried to do one repeat a day, and as you see I'm behind one day. Hopefully I'll catch up today.

Colors for Caitlin's scarf

Caitlin won't decide on colors for her scarf, so I'm creating a poll to help her decide. Here are some options I came up with.

1. pink and wine



2. tangerine and rust


3. guacamole and grass green


4. mustard and charcoal

5. charcoal and magenta

6. aqua and taupe (taupe is actually a bit darker in person)

7. ice blue and pistachio


8. girly pink and melon



Or, come up with your own color combo and tell me.

Uncle Argyle Scarf



I wanted to learn a new technique, so I started the Uncle Argyle Scarf from the Son of Stitch and Bitch book. The scarf is double knit, which is basically a K1 P1 rib, but it makes the scarf double sided, and it looks like stockinette stitch but it won't curl at the edges. I think it will take a really long time to complete, but hopefully it will be worth it.
