I tinked another scarf today. I did not like how it was turning out. So I combined the original terracotta yarn with a variegated blue yarn which was slightly thicker. It has a distinct southwestern flair. Then I went from a U.S. size 9 knitting needle to a 13. I started another Broken Rib scarf. I am past the point in the terracotta yarn, when I decide to tink it out.
I am so glad that I made the decision midway through the project to change it. Even if I have to say so myself. It looks so much better. The combination of the yarn and the stitch pattern adds so much depth to the scarf. Even better is that I have 3 more skeins of the blue yarn. That will be 4 scarfs in total for this color combination. Since the terracotta is on a 3 pound cone I will have to look for more coordinating yard. I am beginning to wonder just how many scarfs that I will get out of 3 pounds of fingering weight yarn.
Below is a picture of today’s progress after tinking. Just in case you were wondering, the scarf is currently 31 inches long.
That is not all I accomplished today. I actually got some deep cleaning done too. I did not quite fill a full recycling bag, however John felt it was a good start. I still have not found my purse gloves. The decision has been made to start a copy of both pairs. Maybe then I will find them.
