Past and Present

While bored, I made this drop stitch and garter scarf. Made on 19s with the same yarn as the slippers except green. I like the way it curls so I have no plans to block it.





One of my current projects is a chevron scarf. I found a few chevron stitches that were completely wrong (either people can't count or have no idea what a chevron is) but I found one in a stitch handbook I purchased at Half Price Books.

It's made from the slipper yarn in pink and green.



and I started the bottom and cut off one row of purling to create a chevron ridge. It added a bit of texture and has stopped it from curling. Next thing to figure out is if I want to do the other end the same way and just deal with the overlapping yarn line.



I think this is my favorite scarf and I'd love to make a blanket out of these two, but I don't think I could stomach doing it on 6s. I'd probably have to go up to 8s at least.
