Sept 26
Well fudge. I was proud of the scarf I was making. It was original, no one else would have one. Last night I was searching for shawl patterns and came across two items using the same stitch pattern. One was a sock, one was a scarf/shrug combo. Okay, so they aren’t the same scarf but it still busted my bubble a little. And the damn thing is curling inward even after I blocked it. I was hoping the little bit of garter stitch would keep it from doing that but nope. The only stitch pattern anyone is going to see are the stripes on the back. Poo!
Yarn: Cascade 220 (black) and SWTC Karaoke (blue/purple)

Size: 110″/280cm long, 5″/12.5cm wide, after wet blocking
Start: Sept 23, 2007

I think your scarf looks really great. Maybe it will behave when your daughter uses it and it will stop curling in.

It’s still a very cool-looking scarf.

If it’s any consolation, this is the first time I’VE seen that stitch pattern. VERRRRRY pretty!

Doesn’t that just make you want to scream! Designed a pair of socks a few years back using a stitch pattern that was a mistake - I made a mistake in reading the directions and it looked really cool! Was really slow about getting it up and for sale on the Vault and guess what!?! It came out about 2 years later in a sock kit from some sock club! Now ya wanna talk bubbles bursting? Oh well.
Ladybugs should know better than to do that in public! It must be a very new relationship for them to just throw caution to the winds like that!

I agree, it’s still a very cool looking scarf. So frustrating when the ends curl in! But it won’t matter that much when you’re wearing it…
